Big thanks to Emma from Greystone Farm for providing details of these walks. Greystone Farm is very popular among not just walkers but also ice-cream and food enthusiasts, as their Little Shed sells: “local, organic, non homogenised milk, locally made ice-cream (eat-now or take-home), free-range eggs, apple juice, jams, chocolate sheep, two-farmers crisps and a few more treats....”. The address is simply
Greystone Farm, Blockley GL56 9LN

The farm is creating a series of circular walks from Greystone Farm (opposite Northwick Business Park) for locals, tourists and my caravan site guests to use. The walks will be displayed on a noticeboard at our farm, on their website (www.greystonefarmcaravansite.co.uk) and in a leaflet available in The Little Farm Shed
