About Aspens Cornford Lane
Aspens Cornford Lane combines animal enclosures, woodland walks and a children’s play area for families, dog walkers and visitors interested in nature. The site includes goats, pigs, emus, alpacas and donkeys, with a pet barn where young animals may sometimes be held.
Visitors can also use the charity café, shop and art room, while the forest walk and playground provide space beyond the animal areas. Donations support the wider charity, which offers residential care, supported living and day opportunities. The visit is built around woodland walks and animal enclosures in a family-friendly setting.
