This beautiful house is situated on the site of the ancestral home of the Scarisbrick family, that dates back to the time of King Stephen. The present building, considered to be one of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic architecture in the country, was designed by Pugin and completed in 1867. Windmill Animal Farm Windmill Animal Farm offers visitors the chance to experience the every day running of a working farm while still having the chance to watch, feed, touch, and play with the gentle-natured animals. The farm, on an 150 acre site, keeps many breeds of cows, goats, pigs and rabbits. Among the facilities are a children's play area, a large car park, baby changing rooms, quad bikes in the summer, an attractive gift shop and coffee shop.
Disabled visitors are welcome and catered for.
In the centre of the farm stands a derelict windmill which has been converted into a home for the farm's owners. School parties are most welcome to visit the farm and educational guided tours are available. The farm was first opened to the public in 1992. It is located at Red Cat Lane, in Burscough.
