Meet our pedigree Suffolk sheep
Our Pedigree Suffolk Sheep have been a part of Attwell Farm Park since 1978, making them one of our longest-standing residents! Over the years, we’ve built up a strong flock, and while we currently have over 60 Suffolk sheep, at one point, we had an incredible 250 on the farm at once! These sheep are not just a visitor favorite—they are also an important part of our farm’s history.
During the summer months, you’ll find them grazing in the paddocks along the Paddock Walk, enjoying the sunshine. In the winter months, they move into the Lambing Barn, where they stay warm and prepare for the lambing season.
