The BIG Sheep

Abbotsham, England, United Kingdom

---

The BIG Sheep is a family‑oriented farm‑and‑theme‑park blend in the village of Abbotsham, near Bideford in North Devon, England, built on what was once a working sheep farm that the same family has owned for several generations. It combines a working farm and animal park—where visitors can see sheep, lambs, goats, piglets, chicks, and other farm animals, plus bottle‑feed lambs—with a small theme‑park style layout featuring rides such as Devon’s largest family roller coaster “Rampage,” a train, carousels, pony rides, a twister ride, and gentle toddler attractions, as well as indoor and outdoor play areas. The park is known for its live, often humorous shows including the world‑famous Sheep Race, Duck Trials, and other farm‑style events, and it markets itself as a weather‑proof, award‑winning family day‑out destination with a mix of animals, rides, live entertainment, and seasonal events all in one North Devon setting.
