Barrington Farm is a small rare breeds working farm tucked into the countryside close to sandy beaches and the Norfolk Broads. Local shops are ½ mile and there is a lively pub within easy walking distance.

Everybody is welcome to enjoy a wide range of interests. For those who are budding farmers the animals need caring for. There are usually lambs that are bottle fed around March and April, a farm trail with egg collecting daily, a popular activity especially when you can take them back to your cottage to cook and eat!
