Seven Sisters Sheep Centre

Not a caching adventure this one, but a fun morning in East Sussex worth mentioning. My husband and I had a leaflet for attractions in Sussex and we were drawn to the Seven Sisters Sheep Centre in East Dene near Eastbourne. It's obviously great for children who love newborn animals, and there certainly were a lot of young families there, but it's not exclusively for children and parents!

In the spring it is open for people to come and see newborn lambs, and feed some extremely tame ewes and rams. There are also times of day when you can feed orphan lambs from a bottle, such a fun and rewarding experience. The centre has lots of other animals to see and touch too - rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, chickens, donkeys, ponies etc. and there's plenty to keep children entertained. There's a play area and frequent tractor rides. The on site cafe and gift shop are good too.

In the summer you can watch the sheep being sheared and have cuddle sessions with some of the animals. There are also opportunities to try out shepherding. I think we will go back later in the year to try these new experiences!
