The Gallery

Bush Farm is tucked away in the woods at the southern end of the little village of West Knoyle, two miles from the A303. The car park is sheltered amoungst the trees and visitors go through the gallery to collect their map for the farm walk. In the gallery are pictures of American wildlife, Native American artefacts of all kinds, “Buffalo” robes to keep you warm in winter and a display all about bison and their history. Every summer in the second weekend in July a Pow Wow is held on the farm. Tipis are pitched and the drum calls out for the dancers to take part with bison as the backdrop.

The Farm

The farm walk is for about a mile as a circular tour round the fields where visitors can see herds of bison, (between 90-100), elk and red deer all doing their own thing out in the meadows. Closer to the farm yard are lakes and woods and here you will see poultry, owls, rare breed sheep and pigs, chipmunks, prairies dogs, rheas, racoons & guanacos. Hidden in the bushes is a duck hide to watch wildlife on the bottom lake. By the gallery lawn picnic area is a children’s playground and a children’s farmyard. Teas and light meals are served from the shop.

The Woodlands

As well as seeing the animals, the farm walk takes the visitor through the tree gardens. There are some thirty acres of mature oak woods with mown paths, secret gardens and wide grassy clearings for you to wander or just sit in, enjoy glimpses of wildlife and shed the cobwebs of stress.
