Description
An account of the resource
<div><strong>Barstobrick Visitor Centre and Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere</strong> </div><div>14 years ago, Barstobrick was upland grazing, but the Austin family have brought imagination and major changes which have created a welcoming Visitor Centre. Today visitors see farming and equitation blended with native wildlife. You’ll also find a display from Scotland’s first Biosphere, in Galloway and south Ayrshire. This UNESCO designation marks out rare places with a very special combination of landscape, wildlife and culture.</div><div>On arrival you’ll see a display of modern farm machinery that has helped to make farming less labour intensive. You can pop up to the stables and meet the ponies that take visitors on tours of the landscape.</div>
