Brook Farm

Brook Farm sits on the edge of Westbury-on-Severn, a working agricultural property with genuine historical roots. It's the sort of place where you can actually see Herefordshire farming as it's been done for generations - not a theme park version, but the real thing.

What you're visiting here is a working farm that's been in operation for centuries. The appeal depends entirely on your interest level. If you're into rural heritage and how English farms actually function, you'll find it genuinely absorbing. Families with young children will get a couple of hours out of it if there's hands-on activity on offer, though this isn't a petting zoo setup. For walkers tackling the wider Severn Valley trails, it makes a decent waypoint.

The farm sits nicely within reach of several good-quality caravan sites. Apple Orchard Camping is practically on your doorstep at less than a mile away, while The Roost Retreats and Greenacres Glamping offer more space and comfort if you're after a proper base for exploring the area. You could easily combine a visit here with walking routes along the Severn itself.

Be honest with yourself about what appeals: if you want interactive farm experiences, check ahead first. If you're simply passing through and have a genuine interest in working agriculture, it's worth a stop. Westbury-on-Severn itself is quiet and characterful - good for recovering from tourist hotspots elsewhere.
