Description

Enjoy a fantastic break at Folly Farm. This welcoming and incredibly inspiring new countryside and environmental centre lies in a beautiful location in North Somerset’s beautiful Chew Valley - on the edge of the Mendip Hills, close to both Bristol and Bath

Its fantastic complex of restored historic farm buildings lie at the heart of an enchanting 250-acre nature reserve, rich in wildflower meadows, ancient woodland and wildlife. The views over towards Chew Valley Lake are truly breathtaking.

Activity breaks
All kinds of inspirational courses are run at Folly Farm throughout the year including wild food foraging classes, owl prowls and badger watching expeditions.

Inspiring art and craft courses are run by expert tutors, including watercolour painting, wood carving and glass jewellery making.

Or perhaps you'd like to find out how to install solar hot water or learn about cob building or permaculture gardening? We run a whole host of environmental courses too.
