Eden Ostrich World is an award winning attraction set in the scenic village of Langwathby, 5 miles East of Penrith.
A working farm with a difference, there are many animals, and the flock of African Black Ostrich are a big favourite with the young and old.
Some of the newest animals include amphibians, mammals and reptiles, all homed in a new animal house. A popular event is the milking of the sheep daily at 2.00 pm.
