Keasden Head Farm

Keasden Head Farm is a 480-acre upland beef and sheep farm, located at the North-East corner of the Forest of Bowland, with a wide range of landscapes and habitats, such as moorland, woodland, grassland, traditional hay meadows and streams. The farmers have also developed conservation on the farm with flower rich grassland, wading bird habitat and the creation of wildlife corridors. These habitats create a diverse range of sites for interactive educational visits. The farm is also host to approximately 15 peacocks which roam the land and can most likely be seen on a visit.
