If you’ve ever dreamed of hugging a Highland cow (and honestly, who hasn’t?), this Highland Cow Experience with Afternoon Tea in Shropshire for Two is the ultimate treat. It’s wholesome, heart-warming, and absolutely perfect for animal lovers looking for something a bit different.
Set on a beautiful Shropshire farm, you’ll be welcomed with a friendly health and safety briefing before the fun really begins. Then it’s time to meet the stars of the show, a small fold of pedigree Highland cows, each with their own big personalities and glorious fringes.Â
You'll get to meet them in their paddock from the safety  of a fenced corral. You’ll be eye-to-eye with them and get to feed them by hand, give them a brush and plenty of fuss from over the fence. Whilst safety is paramount, you can give them chin tickles, ear rubs. nose bops, head strokes and even hug them if you feel comfortable to do so. These beautiful creatures have impressive Yorkshire lineage, linked to prize-winning stock, and they absolutely love attention.
After meeting the cows, you’ll sit down to a delicious locally made afternoon tea, beautifully presented in a boxed picnic-style spread. Think freshly baked cakes, sandwiches, and sweet treats, all washed down with a proper cuppa. You can enjoy it in the farm café or head outside to take in the sweeping Shropshire countryside views.
Don't forget to take a look around the rest of the farm to meet the other animals too!
Perfect for couples or friends who fancy doing something a little bit different, this experience is as relaxing as it is memorable. It’s a brilliant way to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend time with one of Britain’s most charming breeds.

What a fabulous time I had, I had a birthday gift to see the Highland Cows and afternoon tea, well I wasn’t disappointed it was a fabulous experience, i loved it, the cows were wonderful, you were able to feed them, stroke them, comb there coats, the young lady was very good telling us all about the cows very interesting, then you could look around the rest of the farm and see the animals and have a super afternoon tea.
Had a lovely day out at the farm and meeting the four highland cows. Staff were all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and we would definitely recommend a visit! Special mention - Jeffrey the llama.
My niece & I had a wonderful afternoon getting really close to a small herd of Highland Cows. We hand fed them & although we had the opportunity to brush them, it was a very hot day & they were really not wanting that. It was a wonderfully calm, relaxed & charming afternoon & all the staff we met were friendly & welcoming. A memorable experience we thoroughly enjoyed.
This experience was wonderful as a present for a birthday. Staff were really knowledgeable and made the day that bit better. Will definitely book an experience again with Frankly Farm Tours!!
I was excited to be going to this event. It was bought as a 60th birthday present. It states cuddles a cow!! But you cannot actually do that, feed, stroke and comb them, so although itcwas a lovely afternoon It was a bit af an anti- climax lovely afternoon tea, delicious and all packed ready and waiting for us, people were nice and friendly, not been open for long so I can see it becoming a very popular place to visit.
A wonderful experience, meeting and getting up close with these docile, friendly beasts. It was great fun feeding and stroking them. An interesting collection of other animals added to the occasion.
As for the Afternoon Tea, how varied and tasty, well presented.
I would highly recommend visiting Frankly Farm and meeting the Highlands and enjoying an excellent tea.
