The Royal Bath and West Show

The Royal Bath and West Show is a major Show for the Year

So it was on the bucket list for things to visit

This weekend was it. So 2 hours of driving and it is not in Bath but more near Radstock

When we arrived, Parking was available and we quickly got tickets and were in.

First was the Pigs as that was next to the entrance

Lots of little pigs but it was the Glosters that we enjoyed.

Then into the cattle area.

Jennifer found she like the little Red Devons.

English Longhorn were present, and they were just some of the rare breeds

We then went into the Falconry section, Today was the eagles.

And what surprised me, was none of them had hoods, but all were very attentive to the visitors.

But it was the big horses to see the breeds that are rare

Puncheon Horses are large and don't have feathering.

Young Clydesdales

Lovely Suffolks

That just didn't want to care.

But for me, it was the Shires

Most were getting ready for the finals of the decorated class

This Puncheon took best on display for 2 year olds.

Look at the size of him.

But i was more interested in the Shires.

Even rare Whites were show.

After them we had start to have lunch and band was playing in the park.

The food hall was not as big as expected

But who could resist these temptations.

Old roundabouts going

This one had been running since 1922

The kids enjoyed the Car on the tracks as well

Some just enjoyed the sun.

Then onto the fowl.  They only had some geese on show. the rest had finish two days earlier.

Entertainment abounded

So we head back past the stock on show

Some were reluctant

But the last stop was the sheep, Devonshire sheep with there large horns

Jacob sheep with their four horns

Strawberry colored sheep as well

But it was the Welsh Black Mountain Sheep that we both liked. They are just black.

A good day out in the sun seeing the sight of English farms.
