Albans Barnyard
Albans Barnyard – holiday cottage & smallholding + Pedigree Jacob Sheep & North Devon Red Ruby Cattle
Sheepskins! Our sheepskins have come back from the tannery & just look at all this beautiful fluff – and every one is unique!
Single Sheepskins are £85
Double Sheepskin is £195
Cushions are £55
We also have some quality woven wool rugs available – see photos.
If you would like to order please message with the numbers of the one(s)! you would like. We can post at extra cost – just ask for details.
The size of each rug is noted under its picture and these measurements are taken at the widest points of the back – the actual size will appear larger because of the length of the wool.
The cushions are 40cm x 40cm but, again, look larger! The backing is plain canvas with a zip🙂

UPDATE – so far our old girl is recovering well so🤞Do you walk your dog off the leash in Horsepasture wood (Wagon Wood) or Cinderhill Wood? Or on the footpath between the two that leads across our fields?
If so please, please, please can you make sure you know where your dog is & what it is doing – one of our old retired ewes was chased and bitten very badly around her tail yesterday (Friday 5th April). She has been treated but it’s by no means certain that she will recover.
Even the most lovable dog is capable of doing this in the heat of a chase so please don’t assume that it’s not possible it was your pet. Please keep your dog close & under control when out & about – it’s just so much better to be safe than sorry😢🐑🐕
There’s a photo of the damage in comments – it’s not too graphic, but probably not something you would want to pop into your news feed unbidden.
Here’s a photo of the ewes enjoying their hay in the field where the attack happened.
Brilliant x
There were a few asian hornet nests found in Kent last year. The nearest to us was in Tunbridge Wells! Nests were also found and destroyed in Oxted in Surrey & Maidstone. All a bit close for comfort!🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Asian Hornets can be devastating for pollinators and DEFRA are trying to eradicate them so our local bee club branch has given us these lures. If there are any Asian hornets in the area they should be attracted to them (like bees to a honey pot?!).
If we see any we can turn these into traps & notify Defra.
Only wasps seen so far so🤞!
Look who’s going to join us on the farm!
We went to choose some piglets today & some of these little beauties will be arriving on the farm in about a month’s time (if it ever stops raining!)
More details with the photos 🐽🐷🐽🐷🐽🐷🐽🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
I’m looking to do a small hog roast 30kg maybe at the end of May. Do you think any would be suitable by then and would you be ready to sell?
But we never get to see them! They are too far from the footpath.
Are we going to have a piglet-cam in the future?
Stripey!
Sweet little piggies (and delicious sausages in due course!)

The blue spray is an antibiotic spray on a long scratch she has a rip at the top of her tails & two very deep puncture wounds (teeth)😢. This was all sprayed after the photo was taken & antibiotics & painkiller given.
So glad that it wasn’t worse , I hope she is okay and there’s no more incidents
Awful, some people shouldn't have dogs!
Wasn't Moo. And this is why I get really, really angry when people berate me for calling him back to within line of sight, grabbing distance. Some of my friends think it's ok for their dogs to disappear from view. It's not. A dog not in view is probably not under control. I could rant longer….
So sorry to hear about it and hope your ewe recovers.
Oh no.. I’m so sorry to hear .. it’s just not bloody good enough is it .. I really hope she makes a full recovery x
We're so sorry to hear this <3 Wishing her a speedy recovery
