Beckford Silk

Just around the corner is Beckford Silk, a small printing factory with some stunning fabrics for sale and a fascinating tour and presentation on silk printing. Look out for the collection of old printing blocks.

Beckford Silk has been printing since 1975, so they know their stuff.

There is a shop selling silk printed items from the factory and also a resident glass artist.

Dumbleton Fine Foods

Not far away in the sleepy village of Dumbleton is a little gem, a rare find outside larger towns.

It is Dumbleton Fine Foods and Cafe. A lovely deli with friendly, smiling service and a host of delicious treats, all organic and locally produced.

Sit outside with your capuccino and enjoy the village eye-candy scenery. Great for a quick sandwich without compromising on quality and a great place to dream of your next country residence!

Ashton-under-hill Open Gardens

An annual must for garden enthusiasts and those who love nosing around other peoples properties - which, lets face it, is all of us!!

It is a two day event, well worth a visit to see some good old fashioned country life.

The village gets a scrub up in May (not that it needs it really), clipping, pruning, mowing and filling thousands of planters. These guys really know their gardening, so you will leave eager to pop in to Drawer and pick up a fresh vintage trowel and a rusty watering can or two.

Every June; check the village web site for dates.

Drawer will be up to garden things too, so check our site as well.
