‘Twas the season, wasn’t it? And many of us are now feeling every inch of our feasting and festivities. But never fear! Help is at hand for all those who are determined to attack the New Year with a burst of energetic determination. And where better to burn the calories than here at Barleylands? Did you know that a brisk walk around the entire Farm Park could put thousands of steps on your pedometer? Staff at the Farm Park have can reach 30,000 steps a day or more! But we’re not suggesting that as a target… Let’s ease ourselves into 2023. As a rough guide, walking 10,000 steps will burn off approx. 300 calories. So that’s at least ONE Christmas pudding dealt with…
Barleylands Members can enjoy unlimited access to the Farm Park 362 days a year, choosing a different walking route to suit the weather or mood. And for only £6.25 a month, you can enjoy regular exercise whilst being cheered on by our animals. It’s also a great way to get children walking in the fresh air as they roam from one attraction to the next, with breaks in between for tired little legs. And the vast majority of our routes and paths are wheelchair and buggy accessible.
For those of you who are more inclined to ramble, rather than stride, through the year, our website will always alert you to upcoming events. And on those days when the weather is being less agreeable, take an indoor walk around our wonderful Discovery Centre, Nocturnals and Exotic House and, of course, the Animal Barn.
So why not set a few fun targets for yourself and family members? By the end of the year, you’ll be ready to enjoy ANY amount of feasting and fun…
