Arrive after booking parking (£3/day when driving). Tours cover mown paths; volunteering focuses on surveys and land tasks. Dogs are not allowed (service dogs welcome). The site is rural: drive slowly, or taxi from Frome, Bruton, or Castle Cary stations.
Why it matters
A living lowland rewilding farm is easiest to understand when you stand in the fields and hear how saplings and wildlife are returning.
