Arches Farm, GL2

Set within rolling hills of rural Gloucestershire, Arches Farm is an animal haven and covers 80 acres of grass fields, parkland, wild flower meadows, ancient woodland and an orchard. The farm animals include sheep, pigs, cows, ducks, chicken and an alpaca.

One of the main feature points of this farm location has to be the farmhouse; a captivating regency-style build gleaming with timeless flair and charm. Part of the house dates back to 1820 and many original features still remain, including a set of striking brick arches and an ornate verandah overlooking the cottage garden below.

The working farmyard offers a variety of backdrops too with its selection of red-brick farm buildings, workshop, original milking parlour, 1950’s Dutch barn and more modern agricultural stores.
