Primary school children have enjoyed a day learning about life on a farm at Gawdy Hall.

The excited pupils from Beccles Primary School received their first-hand experience of farming activities at the north norfolk Estate.

The trip, organised by the Country Trust, provided an opportunity for many children who had never been to a farm before to see animals in their natural habitat, learn about farming machinery, and gain insights into crop cultivation.

Sarah Davey, of the Country Trust, said: "I'm really grateful to everyone at Gawdy Hall for making this visit possible.

"We believe that every child should have the opportunity to visit a farm and discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet."

Year 4 teacher, Luke Galea-Pace, said: "Visiting Gawdy Hall was a brilliant experience for our children."

One happy pupil, Kiera, said: "My favourite part was riding on the tractor-trailer and seeing lots of different animals."

Mark Mayhew, the estate manager, said: "We love welcoming school children to the Estate and showing them the important work we do here."
