A SMALL breeds farm in Herefordshire has featured on a BBC programme, showcasing what it has to offer.
In Wednesday’s Escape to the Country, on BBC One, presenter Jules Hudson is in the Welsh county of Powys, which neighbours Herefordshire, showing a couple what it has to offer as they search for a property.
The “mighty” river Wye was mentioned and described as a “rich ribbon of life”, by the BBC presenter.
He said one of the best bits about Powys is you are only a “hope, skip, and a jump” from his “home turf” of Herefordshire.

“I’ve been lucky enough to live in this part of the world for most of my life,” said Hudson.
It is a spectacular part of the world, he said.
The book town of Hay-on-Wye also made an appearance, as it sits on Herefordshire’s border.
Sarah Price also featured on the programme, talking about Walk Hay specialise in providing expertly led guided walking in the Hay-on-Wye area.
Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre, in Kington, made its claim to fame on the programme when Hudson and the couple visited.
Hudson said it was one of his favourite places.
Goats, sheep, alpacas and more call the farm their home and “alpaca insider” Ella Pillidge was on site to give the couple friendly advice on owning one.

As they showed the intriguing alpacas in their array of colours Ms Pillidge said they like more attention than a sheep, and like “cuddling up together in the cold,” she said.
They also like to be with other alpacas, so it is best to have at least two, she advised the couple.
The pigmy goats also made an appearance.
“They’re the cutest things,” said Hudson as he held one in his arms.
The couple were sold on the little animals.
“You can never have too many,” said Ms Pillidge.
“They are absolutely fabulous, it has been a really nice end to the day,” said Hudson.
“We better go before we take something home.”
