Fir Tree Farm is a 35-hectare family farm run by Alan and Edwina Abbott who as their main philosophy, place an emphasis on conservation and the environment. The farm itself has a long history, the farmhouse itself dating back to 1704 and thus being granted Grade II listing. Built from local sandstone it is a traditional Lancashire farmhouse and features in several architectural guides.  

Fir Tree Farm includes beautiful woodland walks, which features chain saw sculptures, a willow tunnel and a wildlife pond. All visitors will be tempted to visit the fantastic Farm Shop and Seasons Café & Restaurant, which sells local and regional produce and offers a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.
