Birds at Knowle Farm

In celebration of RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2025, taking place on 24-26 January, our resident twitcher and junior RSPB member Leo would like to share some of the birds that we share our home with here at Knowle Farm:

There are over 50 different species of bird here, with moorhens, buzzards and long-tailed tits among the most common. If you come here in winter, you might catch a glimpse of our splendid redwings and bullfinches. Underneath the photos, the birds that have not been photographed are listed.

If you are interested in a bird-spotting tour when you come to visit, we would be more than happy to oblige!

All of the photos have been taken by me on Knowle Farm between December 2024 and now.

Now Available - Electric Vehicle Charging

We have recently had two 22kW EV chargers installed in our car park exclusively for our guests’ use. We have our own electric car and know how much easier it is to have charging available where you’re staying, rather than having to make a separate journey out just to top up the battery. We hope this will help guests who would otherwise find it difficult to bring their EV when holidaying with us.
