We live on a farm, and our chickens have been known to get inside caravans if encouraged

The campers love them....

Visit Llandrindod Wells! Great scenery, walks, cycling, red kites. Ideal for exploring Mid Wales.

Not sure how far from you it is but Fron Farm in Mold has animals.   Great for kids.
We went at the end of May and were going to go back - but circumstances have mean that camping is on hold for now.

Licoln Farm in Standlake and Country View in Oxfordshire both have small animal areas. (Sorry no idea if these are within 2.5 hours)
