Friday: Open for School Visits
Saturday Only – 10.00am – 5.30pm
Bullsbrook Farm is run by Roy McMurray who inherited the farm from his parents. Bullsbrook dates back to the mid-17th Century when the land was given to the Maxwell family.
Roy is passionate about preserving the unique history and has restored the period house which dates back to 1700, offering visitors a glimpse into how rural dwellers used to live.
The farm has been part of the Countryside Management Scheme since 2001 and is home to a beef cattle herd and a small agricultural museum.
In one of the restored buildings, there is an open fire with the original crook and bellows and a place to bake bread on the griddle, just like way they used to make it!
The farm also has an amazing collection of farmyard implements and equipment – everything from old butter churns to hand operated seed planters.
The River Lagan runs through the farmland and provides a peaceful area to explore wild birds such as Goldcrests, Jackdaw, Tree Creepers, and Greenfinch to name but a few!
Roy enjoys sharing his knowledge and the history of the farm at Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend. A visit here offers a chance to step back in time and learn about traditional farming practices from days gone by.
