A Durham farm attraction is celebrating after being named UK Farm Attraction of the Year.

Hall Hill Farm, near Lanchester, County Durham has scooped the top prize from the National Farm Attraction Network (NFAN), beating stiff competition from scores of similar attractions across the United Kingdom.

Hall Hill Farm welcomes around 60,000 visitors every year attracted by the family fun on offer and the opportunities to see and touch animals at close quarters.

Visitors can bottle feed lambs, see fluffy chicks, inquisitive goats, magnificent Highland Cattle and get close to children’s favourites such as guinea pigs and rabbits, as well as enjoy a tractor or donkey ride around the beautiful countryside.

This is the second accolade in recent months for the farm as it was also named Best Tourism Experience of the Year at the 2010 North East England Tourism Awards.

 “We are thrilled to be named as Farm Attraction of the Year, as we were up against farms from all over the country. This prestigious award is fantastic news for everyone at Hall Hill,” says Tourism Manager Ann Darlington.

“We have all worked very hard to make sure that we provide each visitor with an enjoyable and memorable experience. The fact we have won a national award is a real credit to all of our staff."

 Hall Hill Farm re-opens for the new tourist season this February half-term. It will be open to the public daily 10.30am -4.00pm from Saturday 19th February – Sunday 27th February. It will then be open to the public every weekend until April when it is open every day until the autumn.
