Time spent with a grandchild is precious. A couple of hours with Chloe is a gift.
You need somewhere that feeds their imaginations, gives them free rein to run around and encounter wild life and animals in a natural safe and secure setting. Jersey Heritage's Hamptonne does that and also has the added advantage of providing locally baked cakes and pastries, thanks to Vienna Bakery, and a welcome cup of coffee or tea. If you seek something extra there's the educational aspect of guided tours around the farm. A place of discovery on so many levels.
The preserved site is peppered with chickens quietly clucking away, a small bag of seed purchased from the shop as you enter, allows children to experience close encounters of the poultry kind.
Shy calves, piggies, lambs, bunnies and even resting swallows will delight the hardiest of souls.
Take a picnic and relax in the dappled shade of the orchard. A hidden gem. But take a pacamac just in case!
