Nanquidno Farm Visits

Please note that all trips to ‘Nanquidno Farm Visits’ are free of charge.

OUR FARM

Nanquidno is a family run coastal farm on the Lands End peninsula. Our focus here is on conservation and its impact on future generations.



CREATING HABITATS

Our small herd of rare breed Longhorn cattle graze the coastal strip of SSSI ( Site of special scientific interest) pasture to create habitats for the Cornish Chough and a massive variety of wild flowers.

CONSERVATION

25 acres of arable cultivation are given to growing the rare arable weed Vipers Bulgloss whose spectacular purple show can be seen each year in late June early July depending on the weather conditions.

PRECIOUS & Historic

The valley renowned for the sightings of migrant birds is also host to historic mining remains and an ancient Iron Age settlement.




STUNNING LOCATION

The farm includes some National Trust land at Nanjulian and Boscregan and boasts stunning panoramic coastal views from Lands End to Cape Cornwall with the Isles of Scilly in sight on a clear day.
