Southdowns in Green Park

The Goodwood Flock headed in to central London in October to help promote UK Wool Week.

UK Wool Week is organised by the Campaign for Wool, and the Southdowns were part of a project working in conjunction with British Wool, The Woolly Roadshow and Rare Breeds Survival Trust.

Nick Page, daughter Amy, and Farm Manager Tim Hassell brought a trailer full of Goodwood sheep to Green Park, and, assisted by a police escort, the flock was shepherded down The Mall, to the amazement of the many passers-by.

The Woolly Roadshow had travelled from Glasgow, stopping at various points on the journey throughout the week, with the visit to London on the Friday being the climax of the Wool Week tour.

Special thanks to Tim, Nick and the team for bringing along the Goodwood sheep and helping to make it a memorable occasion.
