Down at the Farm is a real working farm located in 20-acres of beautiful rural County Durham countryside close to Houghton-le-spring - just a few minutes away from Sunderland, Durham, Washington, Middlesborough and Newcastle. Offering amazing panoramic views across the coast, Wearside and Tyneside with the Cheviot Hills visible to the distant north, the farm is easy to get to from most North East England locations.

Down at the Farm was Inspired by the two young children of Catherine and William Weightman - the company founders. Our aim is to offer you and your children a unique and educational day out - A Real Farm Experience for the Whole Family, the first of its kind in the region.

Down at the Farm aims to provide families and schools with an interactive and informative learning experience and features a wealth of farm based facilities, accessible to all ages and abilities.

Visitors will be able to enjoy experiences including 'meet the farmer' trails, talks on how food is grown and bottle feeding the farm's animals. Among a range of traditional species, Down at the Farm will also be home to some more unusual breeds such as red deer, wallabies and highland cattle
