In Welsh ‘cwtch’ means a ‘hug’ or a ‘cuddle’. And this is exactly what you can do in Cwtch Corner.
We’ve been approved by the Rare Breed Survival Trust for our efforts and contribution to conserving rare breeds of livestock. Our rare breed paddocks are a showcase of rare breed farm animals from across the UK and where we particularly champion some of the most amazing Welsh rare breeds.
We’re proud to be highlighting and conserving rare breed farm animals at our attraction, including the rare Welsh Balwen and Torwen sheep.
The Rare Breed Survival Trust (RBST) is a national charity working across the UK to safeguard the future of rare and native livestock and equine breeds. It aims to reverse the decline of all livestock breeds listed on their watchlist and to have all the breeds on the watchlist in a stable position by 2028.
The RBST Watchlist is the result of an annual census to determine the population and viability of each native breed and is categorised into priority and at-risk breeds, giving farms guidelines on which breeds need some extra help.
Our farm currently houses eight priority breeds such as the Exmoor pony and ten at risk breeds including the Saddleback pig. We also house many rare and traditional Welsh breeds such as Welsh harlequin ducks, Welsh pigs, Balwen sheep and the charismatic Torwen badger faced sheep.
10% of the profit from our animal adoptions directly raises funds for our conservation partners including the Rare Breed Survival Trust.
