  Diddly Squat Farm Shop

  At Diddly Squat Farm Shop, you’ll have around 45 minutes to take photos, look around and buy something to eat or drink. You can visit the shop, but when it’s busy I often recommend avoiding the queue, as there are other local ways to buy Diddly Squat products without waiting. I do not offer queue-jumping or guarantee time to enter the shop.

  Clarkson's Farm

  rom Diddly Squat, I take you through the local village and countryside to filming locations connected with Clarkson’s Farm, including a countryside walk and several stops from the programme. I deliberately don’t advertise every location in advance — part of the fun is discovering some of these places on the day.

  Cotswolds

  I also take you to a traditional village pub used by Jeremy Clarkson and Gerald Cooper, with time for a drink before we continue towards The Farmer’s Dog. The drive takes us through some beautiful Cotswold countryside that most visitors — and even many locals — miss.

  Moreton-in-Marsh

  Depending on timings and how the day is going, there may be time for an additional country pub stop before we return through the Cotswold countryside to Moreton-in-Marsh Railway Station. I normally arrive back at around 17:30, although timings can vary slightly depending on traffic, queues and how the day has gone. If you’re not in a hurry to leave, you’re very welcome to stay on and enjoy the pubs of Moreton-in-Marsh with me after the tour.
