Despite what you think of me I like to keep it local and fresh. That isn't an admission to anything…read moreillegal it is purely an innocent fact. So I am partial to the delights of a farm shop and Emleys is a cracking place to indulge. First up the shop itself. You'll find high quality fresh veg here. You can't beat real bundles of asparagus, salad that still has dirt on it and rugged vegetables. It's a good place to stock up on your five a day. It is also a great place to stock up on some treats and for that I'm talking Brymor ice cream, yum. On top of the shop it's also got a pleasant farm trail for the children and a lovely pet's corner. Yes I'm back on the animals again! Throw in a gardener's corner and an activity centre complete with bouncy castle and there is enough to keep the little ones entertained whilst you get some fresh goodies. Oh and a donkey. What isn't to like?

For a small price animal feed can be purchased at the farm shop (which also sells a range of produce largely locally produced) to go and feed the animals of various forms that reside on this farm. The are no structure walks around the site so this is somewhere where you have to be engaged and take care of little people that may get nipped or pecked from various creatures. As long as it's not a day like to day (that is absolutely tipping it down with rain) there's a lot that could be got out of a visit here.

A small museum or exhibition would have been welcome. You can find shops and cafes anywhere. And £3 for an ice cream from the van is pushing it. There seemed more to see with the older set up. Not that impressed. Sorry.

Out of all the cities I visited in the UK the only souvenirs that I purchased were from Manchester. I love my 'I heart MCR' and 'on the sixth day..' mug.
