Farm Stay

Picture yourself waking up to the call of cockerels. Then tucking into a farmhouse breakfast where everything - from the sausages to the heirloom tomatoes - has been sourced from the farmland you see from your bedroom window. The rest of the day might be spent feeding the goats, petting adorable lambs or taking sun-kissed walks in wildflower meadows...

If your vision of England includes a peaceful smallholding amid those famous rolling hills, then why not live the dream yourself and try a farm stay?

Many farms along the Great West Way open their doors to countryside-curious travellers, keen to experience their rural way of life. Some offer accommodation only, and the easy experience of just being there, enjoying the birdsong and the buzz of farm life. Others allow you to get stuck in, whether you’re interested in permaculture or how to herd sheep. A farm stay can also be an eye-opening education for young shepherds or shepherdesses who, having been raised in the city, might be more used to traffic than tractors.

A stay on a farm gives you the chance to try the freshest produce grown along the Great West Way, from luscious leeks to plump pumpkins, with zero air miles to feel guilty about. Some offer hampers with a selection of homegrown produce for you to cook up yourself, while others put on big communal meals where you can share recipes and ideas. You mind even find wine, cider and beer tastings too.

Many working farms along the touring route also have an unexpected sideline. They might be small batch gin distillers or make artisanal goat's milk soaps. They may even run workshops in rural skills, from scything to straw bale house building. Such are the joys of working farm holidays along the Great West Way… simply see which one excites your inner farmer.
