A sure sign that spring is on the way is seeing lambs and other baby animals. There is nothing cuter than petting or bottle feeding a lamb and there are plenty of opportunities in Somerset this spring.
Lambing season is almost here and we’ve found some great places to go with the family. You may be lucky and see some other baby animals too. So, if you’re wondering where are lambing events near me, then here is our handy guide to help ewe!
