About This Adventure
Embark on a memorable two-hour adventure at Cuplahills farm, where you'll meet playful Pygmy goats, friendly sheep, and cheeky chickens. Discover the farm's rich history, enjoy stunning views of St Andrews and Dundee, and experience seasonal delights like wild berries and flower picking in the enchanting community woodlands.
Duration: 2 hours We’ll take you on a two hour tour around Cuplahills farm and countryside creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Meet the animals, spy the wildlife, learn about the food we produce, the environment we protect and the history of our 3rd generation family farm. And soak up the breath-taking views to St Andrews and the sea.
The adventures start by feeding the mischievous, but very greedy Pygmy goats before meeting the horses in their stables. Next you will head along the farm tracks, taking in the scenery on route, to find the very friendly sheep that like nothing more than a cuddle and some treats!
This is a family-friendly experience and we tailor each tour to suit the ages of those involved. Take in the views to Dundee and across St Andrews Bay before we drop down through our community woodlands.
Depending on the time of year there may be opportunities to sample wild berries or pick some flowers through Willies Wood before heading back to the farm to find the cheeky chickens and hopefully collect some eggs.
