Just 1.5 miles from Blacksmith Cottage, Deer Park Farm is quite literally on the doorstep.
Around four minutes by car or 30 minutes on foot, it makes an easy addition to a stay, whether that’s breakfast and coffee, a wander around the shop or time exploring the countryside.
The café has plenty of lovely indoor and outdoor seating, serving breakfast, freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, sandwiches and light bites. There’s also a farm shop, florist and further shopping upstairs, making it a lovely place to browse at a slower pace.
Then there’s the walking.
The longest route is a 5km loop around the site, taking in both the Woodland Walk and Deer Park Walk, where you can spot the resident deer and alpacas along the way. There’s no need to tackle the full route either, the walks can be broken down into shorter sections, with waymarkers around the site showing you which route to follow.
There’s a large, free car park too, making it an easy stop whether you’re heading over for breakfast, a countryside walk or a little bit of both.
And there’s a lovely connection to Blacksmith Cottage, many of the products in our welcome hampers are sourced from the Deer Park Farm shop, so it’s a local business that’s already part of the Blacksmith Cottage experience.
