Feather Down Farms in South West

• East Shilvinghampton Farm (Dorset, near Weymouth, just off Chesil Beach) — the only UK Feather Down farm with alpacas, with walks alongside them and access to the Jurassic Coast
• Mount Pleasant Farm (Dorset) — one of Feather Down’s original farms, set further inland with cattle, sheep, horses and pigs across open meadows
• Warren Farm (Somerset, Mendip Hills, near Cheddar Gorge) — a working farm with goats and cows, and a children’s play area

Why choose a South West Feather Down Farm stay

Is a South West Feather Down Farm stay good for families?

Yes. Billingsmoor Farm’s milking parlour visits and farm walk, and East Shilvinghampton’s alpaca walks, both give children a genuinely hands-on farm experience. Dorset’s Jurassic Coast and Devon’s north and south coast beaches are both within easy reach of the relevant farms, making it straightforward to combine farm life with a beach day.
