Discover the excellent food and stunning setting of Worcestershire.
Known as The Fruit Bowl of England , Worcestershire has a huge selection of excellent produce. Enjoy the fruit and vegetables from the famous Vale of Evesham , taste the local beers and ciders made from apples and hops grown within the county, visit the award winning vineyards, sample the local meats from farms across the county, or simply enjoy some of Worcestershire's finest food served in the local pubs and restaurants.
Worcestershire is home to some of the most stunning scenery within England. It is a county that can often be overlooked for walking/wildlife breaks which makes it a quieter location for a rural escape. With the Malvern Hills, The Wychavon Way, North Cotswold Villages, Bredon Hill and the gentle landscape on the Teme Valley, Worcestershire provides you with plenty to discover.
At Phepson Farm we provide details of our local walks and a list of all our nearest farmers markets and farm shops with information on the produce they may be selling. We also provide information and sample menus on our excellent local pubs and restaurants serving local produce, including our own Mutton from wildlife rich grasslands within the county. We have a wildlife walk through our farm where guests can see some of our conservation work in progress. For more information visit Phepson Farm
Nestling on the Yorkshire Coast
Filey is a real gem on the Yorkshire coast. It nestles between Flamborough Head with Bemptons magnificent 400 foot vertical chalk cliffs, a home to millions of sea birds, and Filey Brigg a rocky promontory that protects the bay from the effects of Northerly winds.
The sandy beach is brilliant for building sandcastles and paddling. The sea can allegedly get quite warm when the tide comes over the sun warmed beach. The town is much more gentile than neighbouring Scarborough and Bridlington with only one seafront amusement arcade and a much quieter ambience.
Filey is perfect for the traditional seaside holiday.There are many walks and Filey lies at the junction between the Wolds Way and the Cleveland Way. Shorter walks along the beach and onto Filey Brigg are very popular.Filey coble landing is where the lifeboats are housed, a large all weather lifeboat and a smaller D class inflatable.
There is still a small commercial fishing fleet which mainly catches crabs, lobsters and salmon as well as many smaller private angling boats. Filey Brigg still produces some excellent catches of North Sea cod and the mackerel fishing from the shore on the Brigg can be very good at times. The coble landing also has seafood stalls, take-aways, cafes and one amusement arcade.
The town provides an extensive range of shops in a compact area including some specialist shops you might not expect to find in such a small town. The town only has two small supermarkets and none of the big chains. It is probably this which means there is an excellent choice of independent butchers, green grocers, bakers and newsagents as well as a specialist outdoor shop and luxury chocolate shop and, of course, lots of excellent fish and chip shops. It really makes shopping a pleasure.
The perfect place to stay is Hope Cottages (see photo above), luxury cottages on the seafront with easy access to the town centre as well as the beach. The living rooms have full sea views.
