Meet the newest addition to the family
A family farm attraction has taken in several hungry mouths to feed in time for its spring opening.
Park Hall Countryside Experience has welcomed a group of cade lambs - lambs which have either been rejected by their mothers or orphaned.
The lambs are currently being bottle-fed by staff, but from today are being fed by visitors to the attraction just outside Gobowen, near Oswestry.
Martyn Hughes, managing director of the farm, said: "We are all very busy gearing up for our reopening with bottle feeding the lambs.
"Feeding the new season's lambs is one of the most popular activities on site and each year the demand for the activity has grown.
"Our new baby orphan lambs are settling in well, and with new lambs arriving regularly this event will continue until early summer.
"For the first time ever we will also have ewes lambing every day throughout half term. We have now brought the mums in who are due to give birth to either three or two lambs each, so visitors will be able to experience seeing lambs either as they are born or just hours old."
Bottle feeding will take place throughout half term week at noon and 3.30pm. Other activities at the attraction include a Trenches through the Ages exhibition, where visitors can journey through the wars to see the different types of trench warfare from WWI to present day over ground trenches.
And staff are working on the installation of a 40m zip wire which they hope will be open in time for Easter.
