Although it's not quite sheep Newcastle has a Town Moor (Larger than Central Park) which has grazing cattle. There's also a farm not too far from the city centre which has grazing sheep.

The Ouseburn Farm in Newcastle (your last link) is a great place :)

I was going to say, I'm sure Desmond Dene has sheep there.

If you mean Jesmond Dene, there's a petting zoo with a few small beasts and birds. I know they have a couple of breeds of goat but I don't recall seeing any sheep on my last visit (within the last month).

Ha, yes thank you autocorrect. And they had sheep when I last visited couple years ago, maybe they got rid of them now.

You still don't need to go too far, there's a fair few farms just outside Ponteland that have grazing sheep and I'll regularly cycle past farmers with their collies on the quad bikes on a Sunday morning.
