Where's Woolly

The famous Herdwick sheep of Lakeland is a remarkable animal. Grazing the high Lakeland fells without fences or shepherds they don't usually stray from their home turf. But one small sheep with itchy feet and big dreams yearned to travel further afield. So he said goodbaaa to his flock and set off for pastures new. Follow the adventures of Woolly, our intrepid hitchhiking Herdwick, as he explores Cumbria-The Lake District.

Golakes games

Why not try one of our sheep themed games. Try your hand at farming by herding the sheep into their heart shaped pen to ensure that none of the stock gets away. Make sure you are quick as the time is ticking away. Then challenge mum and dad and see who wins. For those who like computer games and football the world cup sheep game can give you hours of fun. Jump the footballs and ensure you land on the mintcake to gain superpowers.
