Well obviously we think 'Flowers of Hatch' is worth travelling many miles to see on its own but there are lots of other things to see in this part of the world which all add up to one of those perfect days out in the English countryside.

would be mad not to take home some of their wonderful organic produce....
Wardour castle is just a mile or so away and must be one of the most perfect places for children of all ages. As featured in 'Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves', it can be climbed over and run round and the age of chivalry recreated...
