Fancy cuddling a cow?
The latest animal sensation sweeping Britain is taking the internet by storm, with Highland cows replacing cats and alpacas as social media favourites. Now, thanks to the brand WonderDays, the public can get up close and personal with these countryside stars through a Highland Cow Cuddling Experience near Telford.
Recent studies have shown the fluffy friends’ surge in popularity is connected to lower cortisol levels and a boost in neurochemicals like oxytocin. They have become symbols of slow living, kindness, and countryside calm.
The thirty-minute experience has quickly become one of WonderDays’ top trending activities this November, climbing from 12th to third place in just a few weeks. Together with the Highland Cow Experience with Afternoon Tea, it has now surpassed the company’s iconic Hot Air Balloon Rides in popularity. The experience is not even open for visits until March.
Matt Jones, Managing Director & Co-Founder at WonderDays, said: “Highland cows have always been adorable, but their popularity has recently surged across social media. We wanted to turn that online love into something people could actually experience, not just scroll past.”
He added: “The Highland Cow Cuddling Experience is one of WonderDays’ most heartwarming new additions. From adrenaline filled adventures to moments of calm connection with nature, its growing popularity shows that consumers are increasingly drawn to experiences that offer the perfect mix of wellness and shareability.”
