Lower Bush Farm

Lower Bush Farm is a stunning 40 acre farm on the side of the Brown Clee Hill 6 miles from Ludlow, south Shropshire.

The Farm has three Forest School woodlands on site which are fantastic for making dams and dens, climbing, running, rolling, hiding, swinging in hammocks, getting muddy and toasting marshmallows.

In the Forest School area children make bird boxes, wooden xylophones, mallets, willow sculptures, giant wooden meccano, and swings to rig up in the woods.

Children will get wet and muddy splashing through the streams and woods so they will need to wear old clothes, waterproofs and welly boots.

The centre want everyone to have a great time, so please get in touch to discuss any concerns or particular needs or if a half day would suit your child better.

* Siblings are also welcome.
