Goachers Fruit Farm, North Wheatley

If its summer, it's a real treat to go and pick your own cherries from the tree. Strawberries, raspberries and other soft fruit is also fantastic. See www.goforgoachers.co.uk.

Tuxford Windmill

A working windmill which still mills wheat and other grains for sale. The Windmill has a tea room, and you can look around the inside of the mill. The breadmaking course run from the windmill's site is fantastic and well worth attending. See www.tuxford-windmill.co.uk.
