Old Hall Farm is a historic working farm in the village of Bouth, south of the Lake District. The farm works its land with heavy horses, vintage tractors and steam engines rather than modern machinery, so visitors can watch 19th century farming methods in action. Families can meet and feed farm animals such as sheep, cows, ducks, rabbits and a donkey, and see the jersey herd that supplies the farm's dairy. Butter making and milking demonstrations have appeared among the typical day activities, and the vintage machinery collection is displayed for anyone who enjoys old engines. A tea room and ice cream parlour sit on site, along with a farm shop. The farm also offers children's party packages and hands-on experience days with steam engines and shire horses for older visitors. Because it is a working farm, what is running on a given day varies with the season and weather, so it suits a relaxed visit rather than a fixed programme.
