This is a working farm as opposed to a farm which has opened a shop selling, in the main, products from elsewhere. Here they use as much of their own produce as possible..check their home-made pies, cakes and puddings? Find yourself a table facing the busy kitchen and watch them being made? Very friendly atmosphere. Personal, attentive service and quality assured at all times. There is even an onsite artisan florist! The website lists all the regular and seasonal events they organise.and there are many! My wife and I always try not to miss the credit crunch lunch every Friday and the exceptional traditional Sunday Lunches? Manor Farm's busy facebook page is also worth a visit. Own website

For only £2.50, I enjoyed a pot of tea, with extra hot water should I have fancied more, a warm home made fruit scone served with clotted cream and jam! It was delicious! The staff were lovely and checked to see if I enjoyed the scone and if I wanted a bacon sarnie to take with me! The coffee shop also had some farm-themed gifts, greeting cards and nik-naks for giving your home a touch of country feel. The place had been newly finished with extra seating inside next to a cosy log burner. There is also extensive seating outside where there is also a mini bouncy castle! I will be popping by again to pick up some meat soon but wanted to share it with you Yelpers now as its a bit of a hidden gem. Bring your family here this weekend (if the weather is not too grim)!

It is a very clean place considering it's on a farm. There is also a tea room and small pet shop to visit.

It was a happy accident when I stumbled upon this farm park. I was walking around the fields of…read moreTanworth-In-Arden with my daughter and we found ourselves at the back entrance. 'I thought you'd closed?' I said to the staff member. It turns out that we'd come on the re-opening day, the farm having been shut for some time due to foot and mouth disease. (Don't be put off-All farms found themselves in this position for a the time). Being Spring, there were animals that were fresh into the world. My daughter was transfixed by a kid being protected by its mother goat, (it'd been born that very morning.) Then along with a gaggle of human kids small Miss Ben C. got to feed some lambs milk from baby bottles. The pig sty area is where we spent most time watching tiny piglets huddled round mum, and seeing the larger pigs wallow in mud. The cafe sell a good breakfast and if the weather is good you can eat out in a semi-courtyard. For a small price little ones can be lead on a pony by one of the friendly workers.

I'm not too keen on animals so my small companion and I teamed up to try and brave some of the things on offer. The farm often allows children (and adults) to bottle feed newborn animals but on this day we only adventurous enough to hold a rabbit and baby chick. They also have pony rides but we didn't feel brave enough to do that either. We really loved climbing on the tractors and farm equipment, in fact trying to prise an under 5 lad off said vehicle proved a little difficult. Personally the best part for me was the lovely Farmhouse Cafe, you can access this even if you don't pay and visit the farm. We enjoyed a great afternoon tea compete with cream cakes. For me it was quite expensive for 2 adults (£8.50 each) and one child (£7.50) expecially as it is quite a drive from where I live too. However, as a one off treat that is ok. Just make sure you get there early and spend forever on the tractor!

Situated on an A426 between Rugby and Lutterworth, the calm within is amazing and the wealth of gift ideas and quality goods for home and garden. Visit their website and read about the history of the farm and, in particular the barn itself? It's an education. An absolute must, and my main reason for visiting regularly, is the refreshment area. It really is sublime. There is a small seating area right opposite the counter which, in the colder months, has a log burning fire. There is a larger and very comfortable seating area in an upstairs lounge with mixed seating.sofas, armchairs, tables.another log burning fire which is regularly attended to. Sink into one of the cozy chairs and watch the traffic pass yet at the same time feeling, as if perhaps, you are somewhere else? An impressive array of homemade cakes etc., awaits your attention when you place your order which, even if you choose to take a seat in the upstairs lounge, will be brought to you by a member of the pleasant staff. For a light lunch you may try their delcious homemade soup with a roll? I would be happy to recommend this establishment to my female contacts as a place for the unaccompanied traveller to stop and rest a while in a spotlessly clean and safe environment. Worth a detour!!

Animals range from guinea pigs, sheep, goats, ducks, horses, pigs, chickens, cows and donkeys. They also have a small shire horse centre on site. The cafe is clean and tidy with a good range of food and drinks for adults and children and a good selection of warming meals. The staff have always been polite and friendly and eager to educate the children. it's worth checking the website ( http://www.sacrewell.org.uk/index.asp ) as they nearly always have some special event on, be it Lamb racing, Halloween or Christmas specials and the working watermill is used for the odd Bakery days.

Fast forward to the present day and now that I'm reinvented as a family man I spend my weekends in the great outdoors, at play parks and on many occasions staring at random animals. My 1 year old daughter can't get enough of our cats and this has now moved through into a general affinity for all creatures with 4 legs that don't use a knife and fork to eat their dinner with! So on Sunday we hit the Reddish Vale Farm which is a bit of a hidden gem, amazingly tucked down the road from Reddish South rail station and the high street. It was £4 entry - cards charge £1 extra if less than a fiver...which is a pretty high charge but they will quite happily let you have a free animal mask instead of just losing a pound... Overall this probably ins't in the Jurassic Park leagues of animal excitement - but there are lots of baby chicks, baby rabbits etc to keep the little ones happy and plenty of generic farm animals that you expect to see. There's also quite a few picnic benches meaning you can take your own food and take a load off - just make sure you sit on the far side away from the "barnyard smells" You'd be doing well to last here for more than 2 hours in terms of what there is to do and a penny more than £4 would seem overpriced but it was a fun day out and definitely worth visiting.
