3. Daylesford Farm
The Cotswold’s most famous farm is a must visit for foodies. You can taste its award winning organic produce in the cafe, restaurant or bar. Most importantly, vegetables, fruit and herbs are picked each morning from the Market Garden, and dairy is sourced from the cows on the surrounding land. Make a day of it with the kids and explore over 2,000 acres of fields and orchards. All the walks are clearly signposted and mostly suitable for buggies. The Kingham site also encompasses a cookery school, farm shop, rental cottages and a luxury spa. In other words, you could spend a whole weekend or more here, if you wish. One of the best family restaurants in The Cotswolds.
If you’re staying in The Cotswolds for a special occasion, visit to The Wild Rabbit, Daylesford’s sister pub nearby, which was recently awarded a Michelin Star.
