Kew Little Pigs Farm Ltd

You'll find Kew Little Pigs Farm just outside Amersham, a proper hands-on sort of place where kids can get up close with pigs and other farm animals. It's exactly the kind of attraction that works brilliantly for families who want something low-key and interactive - none of the theme park nonsense, just animals and the chance for children to actually touch and feed them rather than stare through glass.

The farm itself is compact, which means you won't be trudging around for hours. Realistically, allow two to three hours if you're coming with young ones who want to do the full interaction experience. It's the sort of place where a five-year-old will be absolutely absorbed, while teenagers might find it a bit tame. Bring some change if they sell animal food - always worth checking ahead though, as details aren't exactly easy to come by online.

Based near Amersham, it pairs well with the broader Buckinghamshire camping circuit. If you're staying at Lights Camera Glamping just down the road or Highclere Caravan Park slightly further out, this makes a decent half-day outing. Combine it with a walk around the village or a visit to Amersham's high street, and you've got a proper family day sorted. Best visited when the weather's decent - pigs and mud go hand in hand, but so do muddy clothes and the need for a quick rinse afterwards.
