Welcome to the Rare Breeds Centre

South of England Rare Breeds Centre & Country Farm Park

Fun, adventure & discovery
Whatever the weather or time of year, no other attraction offers so much to see and do as the Rare Breeds Centre with its unique mix of fun, excitement and countryside adventure, set in 120 acres of unspoilt countryside.

All in a good cause ...

The Rare Breeds centre is run by Canterbury Oast Trust, a charity that provides homes, care and occupational opportunities for adults with learning disabilities.

The people we care for work on the Farm, our Restaurant, and our Horticulture and Woodland enterprises. Every Penny from your visit goes to support our work.
