The Area
The pretty town of Upton upon Severn is just 3 miles away with speciality shops, riverside pubs and restaurants as well as regular music festivals during the year. There are also pubs in the local area serving excellent food. The Three Counties Showground, host to a variety of events throughout the year is a short drive away as are the towns of Great Malvern with its Festival Theatre, Tewkesbury and Ledbury. Slightly further afield (but accessible in a day) are Ludlow, Church Stretton and the Shropshire Hills
Other nearby attractions are the National Trust Croome Estate and Eastnor Castle. Cheltenham, the centre of the Cotswolds, renowned for it literary, music and science festival as well as it’s famous racecourse, is an easy drive away. On racing days, avoid traffic by taking the train from Tewkesbury and boarding a Race day bus. Whatever you interests there is plenty to do at The Old Dairy or just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet with a glass of wine.

Cheltenham
Cheltenham is a much bigger town within easy reach and offering a very wide range of shops and some really top-notch restaurants and all of the facilities you would expect from a larger town.
There is some excellent Regency architecture and naturally if you are into horse racing you will be well aware of the annual four day Cheltenham Festival culminating in the Gold Cup.
The Cotswolds
The Cotswolds are within easy reach, famous for their typically English landscape of lovely green rolling hills, stone walls, woodland and charming little towns and villages.
Many of the buildings you will see here are made from sandy yellow Cotswold Stone, making the whole both distinctive and attractive.
The villages of Broadway (pictured), Moreton-in -Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Water, The Slaughter and Stow-on-the-Wold are just some of the many towns and villages well worth a visit.
Croome - National Trust property
Croome Court is a mid-18th-century Neo-Palladian mansion surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland at Croome D’Abitot.
The mansion and park were designed by Lancelot “Capability” Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry, and they were Brown’s first landscape design and first major architectural project.
