B is for BRILLIANT DAY OUT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Godstone Farm is the ultimate day out for the whole family, particularly if you love nature and animals. As well as over 500 friendly animals, many of whom you can interact with and get up close to, we’ve got 45 acres of land for you to explore, plus a whole load of play too – both indoor and outdoor. Lots of our visitors spend the whole day here and return again and again!
BEARDED DRAGONS
In the wild, you’ll find bearded dragons in Australia, their natural habitat would typically be warm, dry areas, such as deserts, savannas and subtropical woodlands, however because of their gentle nature, they are sometimes kept as pets.
Bearded dragons are named because of the spiky folds of skin underneath their chin. They are reptiles, which means they are cold blooded, so need a heat source, in the wild they warm themselves in the sun and burrow underground to protect themselves from extreme heat and predators. Bearded dragons (also affectionately known as beardies) lay eggs, rather than giving birth to live young.
