Farmhouse Tearoom, Craft Barn, Gallery and Farm Park.
The Gincase has all these on one
site, making it one of the leading visitor attractions
in the area. The hands-on owners are Val and John Nattrass, and in the tea room, where a
cooking range dating from 1760 is among the period
items on show, Val uses local produce and traditional recipes in
her delicious home baking. Morning coffee, hot and cold
lunches and afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the Gincase building or
out in the lovely orchard garden.
The adjoining Craft Barn is filled with high-quality
items made by hand in Cumbria, and the bright, airy Gallery
exhibits work in many media and styles by Cumbrian artists, the
displays changing every six weeks. The Rare Breed Farm and
Animal Park is home to a wide variety of animals including cows
and calves, goats and kids, sheep and lambs, pigs and
piglets, ponies, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, rabbits
and guinea pigs.
Also at this family attraction is a children's playground
with ride-on toys and a sandpit. In a quiet location just a mile
from the picturesque Solway Coast, The Gincase is open daily
except Mondays out of season. The Farm Park is open from Easter
to the end of October. Facilities include free parking,
disabled access and toilets, and baby changing
facilities.
