Sheep and Wool Centre

Here is a hands on opportunity to meet Cumbria's most famous residents. Visitors are guaranteed a wonderfully woolly experience as they are brought face-to-face with 19 different breeds of live sheep during the indoor presentation.

Sheep

Experience the skills of the sheep shearer, and in the 300 seat arena, you will be shown how highly trained sheep dogs can skilfully handle a flock. Entertaining, yes - but also both fascinating and educational.

There is a restaurant, and a a shop stocking a wide variety of goods.

See www.sheep-woolcentre.co.uk for more information.
