Bell Green Farm

Bell Green Farm sits just outside Goole, a working landscape that gives you a proper sense of how this corner of South Yorkshire actually functions. It's a real farm, not a theme park version of one, so what you get depends partly on the season and what's happening in the fields.

This is the place for families who want their kids to understand where food comes from, rather than just read about it. You'll see working agricultural land, and if you time it right, you might catch activity that makes the whole operation click into focus. It's not a day-long attraction - reckon on an hour or two max, depending on how much the children want to hang around looking at crops and animals.

The farm works well as part of a wider park holiday in the area. Between Rivers Camping is barely a mile away, making it a convenient morning outing before heading somewhere else. Mooreacres and Apple Blossom Caravan and Camping are within easy driving distance if you're based at either of those instead.

Bring wellington boots if you've had rain - the paths can get waterlogged. It's free admission as far as I can tell, though it's worth ringing ahead to check what's on the day you're visiting and whether there are any school groups around. On a quiet weekday you'll have the place to yourself, which is how farms are best experienced anyway. Kids under five might lose interest quickly unless there's something dramatic happening - it's not designed as entertainment.
