It is a small but perfectly formed mediaeval castle with a perfect moat! Be careful with very young children as the moat is not totally protected and the water is deep! There are also gorgeous wild ducks and ducklings which add to the perfect atmosphere of this site. A small stream passes close to the site and is accessible for paddling with free entry too.The coffee shop nearby does tasty treats too????

Catherine Hill is well worth the climb up the cobbled Street.Such a wide and eccletic range of things to buy .Great to see that these shops are continuing to trade and I so hope that they can continue to survive.I did my duty and tried to support as many as I could so completing my Christmas shopping.

Frome is a beautiful town with cobbled streets, lots of independent shops and several hills! It has frequent markets and is well served by theatres and cinemas. I didn’t try out any restaurants so can’t comment on them. I should imagine it will be lovely at Christmastime. Well worth a visit.

We met up with friends in the garden area of Whiterow Farm a few days ago, taking our own comfy picnic chairs, sitting under one of the huge parasols there. Hats off to their very sensible and practicsl Covid measures. One person allowed at a time to place hot drinks/cake/meals inside the café. During our 4hrs' chilling and chatting, we drank delicious teas and coffees, ate one of the amazing beef bap with veg meals, and really enjoyed browsing the huge deli, choosing a homemade pork pie, a homemade Stilton & Mushroom pastie, and spinach and cheese puff pastry slice. Everything was so full of flavours and generously-sized. Nothing cost more than £2.75 - everything was top-notch quality and great value. The staff were friendly, and managed the distancing measures well. 10 customers maximum allowed in the massive farm shop for example. All the visitors we saw were happily patient to queue when needed. It's a pretty chilled place anyway. The indoor dining areas were closed to comply with Covid measures, but there's plenty of space outside, some of it covered. Picnic blankets or chairs are welcome here...do treat yourself from the deli - such a wide delicious selection. Not as cheap as budget supermarkets, but not expensive, and oh, such tasty great value. Parking is on the level and free. There's a huge enclosed family/kids' field with climbing activities, and pigs to see. We visit Whiterow Farm once or twice each year, (a 60mile drive for us), and it was so nice to return. We even found a jar of our favourite hot carrot & coriander chutney! Thanks to all the staff.
