Based at the Hawkshead Campus in Hertfordshire, Boltons Park Farm is our farm animal practical teaching facility.
The farm consists of 200 hectares of mainly grazing grass, along with 14 hectares of wildlife stewardship plots planted last year and 20 hectares of ancient mixed woodland along with the younger woods that we have planted over the years.
