Altogether Rushcroft Farm covers about twenty acres, hidden away in a little corner of the New Forest, minutes from some of the best riding, walking and cycling that the Forest has to offer. We have deer, badger and fox regularly visiting the farm and you will see and hear many species of birds including hawk, owl, wood pecker buzzard and Red Kite with the occasional White Tailed Eagle. The farm is bordered on one side by the Avon Water and on the other by Sway Village.
From Rushcroft Farm enjoy a short walk into the village with local shops, facilities and 2 great pubs. Through the village takes you out to the open forest with free roaming ponies, cattle and pigs, miles of beautiful countryside to enjoy on foot, bike or horseback. Dogs (max 2) are welcome in the two bedroom cottages and the campsite but must be kept on leads to protect the livestock.
We farm rare breed English Goats and make soap from their milk. Also make a range of Room Diffusers for sale to visiting guests at the farm. Guests love meeting the goats particularly in the spring when the kids are bouncing around full of life and character.
Regular visitors to Rushcroft Farm, the four most common species in the New Forest are fallow, roe, sika and red deer, but there are also small numbers of muntjac deer. We also have fox, badger and many species of birds including Owl, Buzzard and the occasional White Tailed Egale.
