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 ...
