One side of the site is boundaried by a shallow, but lively stream. Brilliant to camp by or for small campfires, or just for a walk first thing in the morning. Rabbit, and badger holes to be seen.
Guests have also seen: Deer, Pheasants, Kites, Buzzards, Sparrow Hawks, Foxes, Peregrine Falcon, and a good range of song birds.
There is a great deal you can do, here.

If you are less ambitious, there is about a mile of paths mowed alongside the stream, around and through the hay-fields with a fine range of wildlife to be seen.
Maybe look at:
The view down from Symonds Yat Rock
Meet our animals...
Sometimes there are lambs to be fed, by bottle or bucket.
Sometimes there are Goats to be fed by bottle or bucket.
There are always chickens, quail and ducks that will appreciate your spare bread.
There are many wild rabbits to be seen if you are alert, especially at dawn or dusk.
Canoeing is an excellent activity at camping. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Meredith Farm Camping. The beautiful sights will make you want to stay there forever.
