Thanks to "Barb the crazy chicken lady" incubating and breeding every egg she can get her hands on, we now have a lot of very free range chickens, ducks & even a flock of nutty guinea fowl running around like lunatics, most will probably pop over to visit you at some point, you're more than welcome to feed them if you wish.
Frequently seen at Windy Ridge are Rabbits, Pheasants, wild Geese, Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Cuckoo, Muntjac, lots of wild Birds, there’s also 2 Kingfishers that live on the old Island in the lake. Please feel free to bring along some bread/lettuce/carrots/cabbage/tomatoes to feed the chickens/guinea fowl & the rabbits on the camp site (or you could buy a bag of bird food from our egg shack for £1). |

Facilities;
Our drinking water supply comes from our very own well & is filtered via the chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, it's probably some of the tastiest water you're ever likely to drink, it also has the added benefits of being undiluted, Non fattening, Vegan, Veggie & Eco friendly (This time next year Rodney).
We have the water tested yearly, so you could say, that all the water you drink at windy Ridge has been passed by a lady from the local council, lol.
