Cefn Mably Farm Park is an interactive agricultural attraction located in the countryside between Cardiff and Newport. The park features a large indoor soft play area alongside outdoor animal paddocks containing rabbits, goats, pigs, sheep, and ponies. Visitors can participate in seasonal animal handling sessions and pony grooming. The facility includes an on-site cafe and designated picnic zones for families.
