Our Story
Rutland Farm Park, in Oakham, was a popular location back the 1980's and 90's, but was forced to shut 16 years ago following the UK-wide foot and mouth disease outbreak and has remained closed to the public ever since.
The Farm park is set in 19 acres of parkland which was part of the Noel estate. The family lived in Catmose, which now houses Rutland County Council. The farm buildings are their original Victorian farm buildings. The park land is the only remaining part of the Noel estate still used in the original way.
Rutland Farm Park, has been in the Ball Family for over 5 generations. Today, we are focusing on the conservation and education of various flora and flaunt, We are trying to conserve rare breeds of sheep, cattle. pigs and poultry. We are also planning to conserve the Victorian Farm Yard and buildings.
