Hounslow Urban Farm

Address: Faggs Rd, Feltham TW14 0LZ

Hounslow Urban Farm is open from 10am to 5pm seven days a week. Entry costs £6 for children and £7.50 for adults.

The farm is suitable for all ages, with a clear focus on families with young children. They offer encounters a few times a day where visitors get the opportunity to hold a variety of animals. You can also feed many of the animals around the farm at all times.

Parking

The on-site car park is free of charge and situated approximately 50 metres from the entrance.

There are two disabled parking spaces outside the centre.

Accessibility

There are plenty of benches throughout the farm, making this location accessible to visitors who struggle to walk long distances. There is a small section at the back of the farm with fewer benches that takes less than 5 minutes to complete at a slow pace.

A large number of the enclosures had benches in front of them, and for the majority of the farm, there are benches every 20 metres.

The total length of the farm is just under 100 metres.

About 80% of the centre has gravel paths, with only a small section at the far end featuring grass surfaces. The paths are a bit rough in places but would still be manageable in a wheelchair or mobility scooter. I visited midday during the week, and it was quiet with only a handful of other visitors.

The Animals

You can see typical farm animals such as cows, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs, but there are also a variety of owls, peacocks, llamas, reptiles, and more. For more information, visit their website: https://hounslowurbanfarm.co.uk/animals/

Conclusion

Hounslow Urban Farm is a wonderful place to visit. Being able to feed the animals, and the activities they offer are suitable for people of all ages and abilities. There's a play area and bouncy castle for kids, as well as an on-site café.

The farm is a little rough around the edges, and with Heathrow Airport next door, you do hear the planes go by. Other than that, it can be a great way to see a good selection of animals. The small size of the farm makes it a lot less intimidating for those with mobility issues.
