In April 2008, the Amenities Group organised a visit to Monks Hall Farm in Hankelow. Our hosts, Janet, Angus, Richard and Chris Maughan gave a very warm welcome to our party of approximately 20 people and, for the next hour, gave us a tour of the farm, initially on a specially adapted farm trailer and then on foot.

We stopped at various points of interest, and, at each point, were given short talks about various aspects of running an intensive dairy farm.

The visit ended with a picnic in the loft of a barn that had been adapted to accomodate parties of visitors.
