Around Brook Farm at Berrington

A nice little place in the country

Never heard of The Teme Valley? That’s why it’s so peaceful here - really rural, nestling amongst the orchards and yet so close to some of the best restaurants in the country. Nearby Ludlow, the first official Slow Food Town in Britain, boasts Michelin starred restaurants. It’s a foodie paradise here with almost every town, village and hamlet producing something delicious or organic or both. 

Why not follow the cider route, visit some English vineyards, taste some local cheese or see a fabulous collection of what the whole area has to offer at The Ludlow Food Centre.
