BUGGY FRIENDLY

Yes

What it’s like

Strawberries off raised guttering and gooseberries or blackcurrants from the field, with a grass spot to picnic afterwards.

Picking here is split into two bits. Strawberries grow on raised guttering, so there's no bending double or crawling along the ground to find the ripe ones, which makes it a lot easier with a toddler in tow. Gooseberries and blackcurrant are out in the field itself, so that's the one for kids who like getting stuck into the actual bushes.

Bring your own picnic blanket and set up on the grass field once you're done picking, they mention that specifically so it's clearly part of the plan rather than an afterthought. There's cold refreshments and ice cream on site too, useful for the walk back to the car when everyone's flagging.

It's pushchair friendly and wheelchair accessible, so buggies and wheels aren't an issue getting around. One thing to flag: the 2026 PYO fruit season is listed as closed, so this is one to plan around carefully rather than assume it's running as usual.
