PEOPLE are being urged to put their walking shoes on for a visit to a Dee Valley site over half-term.

Corwen's Rhug Estate has a designated farm walk around the estate, which gives visitors an insight into the farm life.

Rhug is a working farm, so the animals people see vary each time they visit, but during half-term visitors should be able to see the herd of bison, the highland cattle and the chickens on the farm, as well as the wildlife in the area.

Graham Webster, general manager of the Rhug Farm Shop and bistro, said: “Being the owner of three dogs myself, I certainly wouldn’t want dogs to miss out on a visit to Rhug.

"They are very welcome, but they must be on a lead at all times.

"They are allowed into the bistro as there are dog friendly tables and there are drinking stations around the estate and outside the shop."

Rhug Farm manager Gareth Jones said: “When out walking in the countryside, it is important to remember that it is a working environment where animals graze.

"Walkers should be mindful of their surroundings to fully enjoy the experience.”

He added: “Walkers should be vigilant, especially on entering a field or where you cannot see the whole field, and try to stay away from animals and to be aware of their movements.

"In the spring, it’s especially important to be sympathetic to farm animals rearing their young and give them space.”

The Rhug’s farm walk is free for all to enjoy.
