Bloody Hollow – a new and exciting adventure play area
Bloody Hollow is located on the west side of Hatfield Park adjacent to the coach and car park. A 2.5 metre high model of Hatfield House dominates the central area, which features a range of play items for children up to 12 years old, ranging from a rope bridge and aerial runway to a tree house and secret tunnel, plus all the favourites such as swings, springies and a see-saw.
Hatfield Park Farm Our traditional breeds farm features pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys and cattle. Enjoy a tractor ride around the perimeter of the 25acre farm and watch the demonstrations. Also get lost in our Maize Maze! See the blackboard on arrival at the Shepherds Hut ticket kiosk for details of demonstration times. Bags of food are available for visitors to feed the animals through the hoppers on the paddock fences.
