The Big Sheep is an amusement farm park located in Abbotsham, Devon, England.
Before The Big Sheep was an amusement park it was known as Barton Farm,[1] a busy sheep farm owned by six generations of the same family. Due to challenges in the farming community the family decided to bring in more profits by turning the farm into an attraction in 1988. The site started with an animal park and restaurant. After receiving several successful awards the park has steadily grown.
