About us:
In just eight years, this working farm has become the setting for a beautiful country garden. What was once an area for grazing sheep is now bursting with colour and life. This large, tranquil garden contains a wide range of natural environments including a cottage garden, woodland, ponds and streams, rockeries and lawns. Sit on the patio and enjoy the peace of the afternoon, or walk through the orchard full of summer fruits; visit the formal parterre with its box and yew hedges or just take in the magnificent views.

What's green about ....:
Cobble Hey work closely with Lancashire County Council’s Countryside Service and RSPB to improve fields and hedgerows for nesting wading birds and extra care is taken when working on the land to ensure that nesting birds and wildlife are not disturbed. We have a bird hide to enable visitors to view the wildlife on the farm either by foot or by use of the tramper.To aid guests with an appreciation for the local countryside and to encourage sustainable activities we provide maps and guides for walkers, bridle access, tramper and cyclists. All our gardening is pesticide free and we compost garden and vegetable waste.
