Today it's Open Farm Sunday. Organised by LEAF, which stands for Linking Environment and Farming, it is a fantastic opportunity for everyone, young and old to enjoy the living, vibrant countryside.
Research by University of Essex scientists have discovered that getting out into the countryside, having contact with farm animals and even a ride on a tractor also helped people shake off feelings of anger, confusion and depression. A trip to a farm made 97 per cent of people less tired, and more than nine out of 10 were less tense.
To find your nearest farm participating in the scheme, go to the Open Farm Sunday web site:
