There might not be any greater joy than bottle-feeding a lamb. And that’s why Cefn Mably is a great place to visit. They don’t always let you do that, but I’d ask because, as I say, there is no greater joy. Cefn Mably Farm Park is, evidently, a farm park called Cefn Mably Farm Park, and it allows you to wander among farmyard animals and other farmyard bits and bobs. It tends to be a place to take kids, and is really popular during the summer months as somewhere to ware the little ones out for a few hours. It is also attended by schools on trips during term time, so I’d say phone ahead to find out if it’s likely to be busy if you want to feed a lamb undisturbed by a child repeatedly asking insufferable questions.

I worked at Cefn Mably one summer and it was the best job I’ve ever had — despite the predictably low pay. It is a wonderful farm park just outside the city, in the pretty greenbelt area between Cardiff and Newport. It has come on leaps and bounds in recent years to offer visitors better facilities. There’s now a huge indoor heated play barn, a children’s outdoor play area, a big sand pit, picnic tables, pony rides, and hands-on sessions when visitors can touch and hold some of the animals. From donkeys and ducks, to goats and geese, there’s plenty of variety of animals — including a few less common ones such as the llama. And if you walk to the furthest area of the farm park you reach a lovely, peaceful pond area which is a good spot for wildlife-watching or sitting down for a picnic. I love animals, and I love farm parks — and I wish it wasn’t considered odd to enjoy visiting them without children in tow!

My boyfriend is a born and bred city man, and I am a country bumkin so after being pestered for a while about going to see some ickle cute baby animals I took him here! I did feel a little bit out of place being the only adults without children but it doesn’t matter. Anyways it was spring time so there were lots of lambs and baby goats around to pet and feed if your lucky. Seeing a grown man coo over animals was defiantly worth the £4.50 entry fee! We took a picnic plus and had enjoyed lunch on a picnic bench in the sun, but there’s a nice café too for afternoon tea too or some lunch. Would be fantastic place for kids as there can go on pony rides and digger rides and play on the park area. We sadly weren’t aloud!
