Hall Farm Shop & Café

Highlight • Cafe

Wonderful food (can recommend burger) in an idyllic setting. Outdoor seating, animals to keep kids amused (and adults) whilst waiting for food. Wasn’t a long wait though. Very friendly and there’s a farm shop here too.

Mill Wood

Highlight • Forest

Here's Mill Mill over. An enchanted grove, in which a small detour worthwhile. If you're enjoying yourself here, you can even camp at the Mill Farm Camp site and stay overnight.
