Located in the gentle rolling fields of Inverarity, Angus, Newton Farm Holidays & Tours offers an award-winning farm tour that brings the rhythms of Scottish farm life vividly to the fore. This interactive experience invites visitors of all ages to step inside the working heart of Newton of Fothringham Farm, where each season shapes the cycle of farming and creates unique moments to witness firsthand. Here, the air carries the rich scent of earth and hay, while friendly animals such as cows, miniature donkeys, alpacas, and goats roam nearby, eager for a hand-fed snack. The farm’s patchwork of pastures and barns is alive with stories—spring sees newborn lambs offering a chance to bottle feed, while October’s Freaky Farm Tour adds a fun, spooky twist with Halloween-themed surprises.
Newton Farm’s tour shines because it emphasizes authenticity and accessibility. Whether you’re wheeling a stroller or walking with family, paths are mostly navigable with a wheelchair, and guests can enjoy refreshments from The Cart Shed before stepping into the fields. The essence of this farm lies in the hands-on encounters—feeding hens, stroking alpacas, or snagging a tractor seat if it’s available. And unlike typical tourist farms, Newton’s personable guides bestow insights into agricultural life, connecting the visitor to a working Scottish farm’s daily reality.
