Herefordshire Raceway - Outdoor Go-Karting for all the family
Situated in the stunning Herefordshire countryside and close to the village of Weobley, Herefordshire Raceway boasts an outdoor, undulating go-karting track of some 600 metres in length, with fast sweeping bends, tight hairpins and a 'feature favourite' bridge - which certainly adds to the excitement of your racing. Twin engine Pro-Karts are used, with a maximum speed of 55 miles per hour (which are restricted for junior use).
The senior (unrestricted) karts can be driven by anyone aged 14 years old and above (with a min height 1.5m) and to drive the junior (restricted) karts you need to be at least 8 years old and a min height of 1.3m.
We do provide all the necessary protective clothing needed i.e. helmets, overalls & gloves and in the event of bad weather we also have waterproofs available to use.
We can cater for people who would just like to 'Arrive & Drive' within the relevant opening times but it is preferable to book your slot so as to avoid disappointment if we are too busy.
Light refreshments are available on-site along with a picnic and viewing area but if go-karting is not your thing why not leave the racers to it and enjoy some of the lovely walks and scenery in the area.
Herefordshire Raceway is open all year round from Tuesday to Friday, Weekends & Bank Holidays from 10am until 8pm (or dusk).
For more information including prices please contact Graham or Gillian Powell on 01544 318334 or visit the Herefordshire Raceway website.
Please note that The Herefordshire Raceway Go-Kart track is only a 10 minute drive from Luntley Court Farm Cottages.
Small Breeds Farm Park & Owl Centre - Kington
Tucked away on the outskirts of the Herefordshire town of Kington and surrounded by mature oak trees and centuries old hedges lies a Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre that certainly passes as a destination for a whole family day out that cannot be missed.
The farm park has been home to an array of animals, birds and owls since 1990 and is situated within some of the most beautiful Herefordshire countryside. Having thoughtfully designed landscaped enclosures and gardens and with 5 differently themed fields to explore (the Main Display Paddock, the Owl Garden, the Waterfowl enclosure, the Pheasant Aviaries and the Pet Animal House) there is plenty to do and see for children and adults alike.
The children will love the miniature horses and donkeys (that have been frequently featured on the TV for the past few years) and will no doubt certainly enjoy the company in the pet animal house where they will find the loveable Chinchillas, Chipmunks, Rabbits, Mice and Guinea Pigs. 
Throughout your visit there will be opportunities to hand feed many of the animals as well as getting close up and personal with some of the visitor favourite British and European Owls.
There is an indoor and outdoor picnic area where you can bring your own picnic or alternatively there is a tea room offering drinks and snacks throughout the day.
Open every single day from 10:30am - 5:30pm (4:00 pm during the winter months) and offering an excellent value for money day out for all the family.
So, from the mischievous Pygmy goats, the colourful Peacocks, the ever decreasing Red Squirrels and the unusual collection of poultry right through to the fascinatingly beautiful garden of Owls, whether you are just looking for a peaceful amble through the park or an entertaining day out for the children the Farm Park and Owl Centre is only approx a 15 minute drive away from Luntley Court Farm - why not give them a call on (01544) 231109 or visit the Small Breeds Farm Park & Owl Centre website to find out more!
