Come and enjoy a walk or leisurely stroll around our extensive nature reserve. Our beautiful lochs and wetlands are home to a wide variety of birds and wildfowl and there is a well-maintained network of paths that everyone can enjoy whatever the season.

At Murton Farm you will be able to meet our very friendly collection of animals and birds including Dennis and Gnasher our adorable Kune Kune pigs, Pollyanna the donkey and rare breed poultry. Our new play area has opened with sand pits, pedal toys, an adventure trail and a variety of outdoor toys.

Our tea room serves light lunches and snacks, together with a wide choice of home baking.
