Amelia Trust Farm

Amelia Trust Farm is a charity care farm and visitor attraction at Walterston, near Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, within easy reach of Cardiff. The farm opens daily from 10am to 4:30pm and welcomes dogs on lead throughout its grounds, including the woodland trails, pond area and bird hide, alongside farmyard animals, play areas and a self-led learning trail.

The on-site Green Leaf Café is dog-friendly and serves hot and cold food and drinks. Free on-site parking makes the farm straightforward to reach by car, and entry tickets support the charity's work with disadvantaged young people.

A bookable secure dog recall and training field is available on site — 615m² enclosed by a 6ft mesh fence — giving dogs a chance to run off lead. The booking cost includes farm entry for the dog owner. Dogs on lead are welcome in the wider grounds alongside the animals, so please bear the livestock in mind when deciding whether the field is suitable for your dog.
