AFRICAN pygmy goats are continuing to be a popular hit with youngsters at Walton Hall and Gardens.

The site has around 25 goats on its grounds, three of which are babies who are set to be named in the near future.

Ranger Peter Cookson-Dean admits the animals, which have been a common attraction at the park over the last 30 years, are enjoying all of the attention they are getting.

"Out of all the animals that we have here they are some of the most popular, the children seem to really like them," he said.

The goats are fed once a day on a mixture of food including stock nuts and hay.
