Entry to War Horse Valley Farm Park in the heart of Devon!

🌾 Cultivating History & Countryside Charm: The War Horse Valley Experience Ever wanted to walk through a piece of literary history, stand in fields unchanged for generations, or get gently nudged by a miniature donkey? Welcome to Parsonage Farm in Iddesleigh - the stunning, real-life Devon setting that inspired Michael Morpurgo’s world-famous novel War Horse. Farmed by the same family for nearly a century, we’ve teamed up with the Only Farmers app to offer a truly authentic rural day out.

Here, you'll dive into an immersive collection of wartime memorabilia, local history, and a simulated WWI trench experience. Discover the deeply moving, invaluable role that horses and rural communities played in the Great War. - The Farms of Yesteryear Display: Check out our treasured collection of vintage agricultural machinery, old-school hand tools, and a century-long farming calendar. It's an absolute must-see for anyone with a love for classic tractor engineering and heritage farming methods. - Scenic Valley Trails: Lace up your boots and stretch your legs on our self-guided farmland walk. Enjoy breathtaking, panoramic vistas of rolling hills and verdant valleys, with the majestic peaks of Dartmoor standing beautifully in the distance. - 🦙 Meet the Real Bosses of the Farm: We have an incredibly eclectic, charming, and highly opinionated lineup of resident farm animals.

The Miniature Crew: Pint-sized Shetland ponies and adorable miniature donkeys who completely run the place. The Exotic Contingent: Our gorgeous alpacas looking perpetually fabulous, alongside our curious emus. The Barnyard Classics: Inquisitive calves and cattle, friendly sheep, and a lively flock of ducks, chickens, and geese. Jaws the Pig: Our resident legend who is usually found living his absolute best life (and probably napping). For an extra £1 per person, enjoy our tractor and trailer ride hosted by 74-year-old Farmer Graham - sit back and explore the farm in style! He’s spent 40 years volunteering for Farms for City Children and the last 15 years giving trailer rides and unfiltered talks about real farming history. ⭐ What Our Visitors Say (Google & Facebook Reviews): Don't just take our word for it - we are incredibly proud of what our guests share online!
