There is also a small cafe, a giftshop, and plenty of space to have a picnic. Season tickets are available.

 See rare breeds of farm animals |
25 Matthews Lane Sheffield, South Yorkshire S8 - 8JT United Kingdom +44 114 274 7028 http://www.gravespark.fsnet.co... |
Graves is a wide expanse of city park, stretching from the Woodseats area of Sheffield in the west to Norton in the east. The popular Rare Breeds Centre is a farm on the Norton side, and is a popular place to visit, especially for families with young children. Many of the farm breeds housed here are rare today, so conservation is a distinct theme. Information boards are very useful, especially those which focus on the many chickens, rabbits, horses and sheep (among others) actually born on site. Review © 2007, Wcities |
