At Louma, our horses are at the heart of the landscape. Set against rolling vineyards and open fields, our spacious paddocks provide them with the freedom to roam, graze, and live as naturally as possible. Each paddock is carefully maintained to ensure healthy grazing and safe, comfortable surroundings — creating a peaceful environment where horses can thrive.

Our Apiary hosts three types of hives that fulfil different purposes when caring for the native honeybees at Louma. Our purpose-built observation hive allows us to see the bees at work, whilst more traditional hives allows the bees to create more of a natural habitat, whilst giving us the opportunity to inspect them. Rocket hives are unmaintained, and allow wild colonies an entirely authentic habitat, built from a hollowed-out logs and set on stilt-like legs or attached to a trunk.

Our incredible Cow Barn and Sheep Barn were built in 2022 by local timber-framer, Dave Burleigh and his team. They are a stunning example of his traditional craft that restores a sense of connection to the environment with natural materials and great skill. Our Sheep Barn is home to our ewes when lambing, and is an integral store for our hay and tree hay. The Cow Barn is where we bring our herd in to care for them, observe them whilst calving, and milk them in our purpose-built milking parlour, in preparation for making our own butter, cheese and yoghurt.

Follow the Woodland Walk along the trail, underneath the majestic canopy of turkey oaks, sycamores, beech and hazel trees – some of which are over 120 years old.

Our Forest School is where learning comes alive in the heart of nature. Tucked beneath the trees, it’s a space where children can explore, create, and grow through hands-on experiences that nurture both curiosity and confidence. Here, lessons aren’t confined to walls — they’re found in the textures of bark, the rhythm of bird calls, the stories of the soil, and the joy of building, discovering, and playing outdoors. Guided by skilled facilitators, children are encouraged to work together, solve problems, and develop a deep respect for the natural world around them.
