Country Cheeses

Reviewed By dazoyl - Runcorn, United Kingdom

On a recent visit to Cornwall close to Callington, we were recommended that if we wanted locally produced cheeses then a visit to the market place in Tavistock was the place to go. We were not disappointed we left with a bag full of local cheeses mostly Yarg and Kern. Fabulous shop and a great selection of cheeses all served by friendly knowledgable staff. If your into your cheese and are in the area then stop by, you won't be disappointed.

This Shop is a must! Really happy and very helpful staff eager to please. Lots of samples and everything is made very clear and simple. The only hard part is choosing the flavours! The fudge speaks Volumes for its self! Beautiful and rustic in appearance and oh so melt in the mouth with a very unique texture to it that can only be described as heavenly! Lucky for me I live within a ten mile radius of this place because I think I must return frequently!

Discworld Emporium

Reviewed By Johnfrisbee - Christchurch, United Kingdom

Our annual pilgrimage to Wincanton's splendid Discworld Emporium, accompanied by 3 generations of Discworld family enthusiasts. As ever, the warm welcome from Isobel and Bernard preceded much banter, jollity, Terry anecdotes and Discworld goodie purchases. (That's Christmas sorted for a couple of people then!) 5 year old Jack chose a Death plushie, and carried it for the rest of the day! Such fun, such detail, such great hosts...if you enjoy Discworld, you must visit this place...take it all in, read the plaques outside...it's a tiny slice of Discworld, with a huge heart.

When floating around Bath between art and galleries its always a pleasure to find a book shop that had an abundance of interesting books to explore. This emporium is worthy of hours of your time but on this occasion, some browsing before heading back outside as the sun started to shine. All genre of beautiful hands on books.

It's been a while since either of us has been on a range and we really enjoyed ourselves here, we went for package 2 so got half an hour on each range and were even able to get pictures (safely taken of course). The staff were really friendly and had a great time. We definitely recommend coming here whether you are new to shooting or not.

The Clifton Cellars

We offer wine and gin tastings for your group in our beautiful wine cellar in the heart of Clifton Village, near the historic Clifton suspension bridge. Learn about wine in an informal, fun way and leave with a different perspective about wine and how to taste.

Reviewed By 162christineq

I cannot recommend Alan and his wonderful cellar of wine enough. We had a fabulous evening tasting beautiful wines with an incredibly knowledgeable host (Alan) who made the evening fun, humorous and interesting. We certainly will look and taste wine in a different and better way!! Thank you Alan, you were a great host from start to beginning and we will definitely be back!
