Cornwall Park’s farm

We would like to reassure your correspondent Annette Perjanikc that the opportunity for visitors to see cattle and sheep remains very much part of Cornwall Park’s future.

Currently the park is home to some 140 cows and calves and 1200 sheep, as part of a farming operation run by our team.

We have no intention of reducing livestock numbers, and indeed our future vision for the park includes initiatives to enhance our livestock operation.

We also value our cows and sheep for helping to cost-effectively maintain grass areas and keep down the spread of noxious weeds.

Michael Ayrton, park director.
