Where are we?
Rice Lane City Farm is at the end of Rawcliffe Road, Walton L9 1AW. We are quite easy to find, from Rice Lane just turn into Rawcliffe Road and go all the way to the end, cross the railway bridge and you have arrived!
You can also enter the site from the DoveGate on Hornby Road.
Opening Information
Rice Lane City Farm is open to the public from 10am until 3:30pm 7 days a week. There is no charge for admission. Well behaved dogs are welcome around the cemetery but must be on a lead, only assistance dogs are allowed onto the farmyard due to the smaller animals we keep on there.
About the Farm
Rice Lane City Farm has been established for over 40 years. We occupy the site of the old Walton cemetery where we have 24 acres of fields and woodland.
You will find many of the usual farmyard animals here, most of which are very friendly. These include UK native and rare breeds such as Ryeland sheep and Berkshire pigs.
Our woodland walk is a great opportunity to see and hear wildlife that you might not encounter elsewhere in Liverpool and all the paths on the site are wide enough for wheelchairs and buggys, please be aware though that some paths are unmade so can be a bit muddy in bad weather.
At busy times we have a volunteer-staffed tea room in the Old Chapel.
