Windygates
What it’s like
Pick your own strawberries straight from the fields at a farm shop near Windygates, open late May to mid September.
The main event here is strawberries, picked by hand from the fields rather than bought in a punnet. It's a simple sort of morning out: you wander the rows, fill a basket, and the kids get to see exactly where fruit comes from before it turns up on a plate. No big rides or mazes to speak of, just the picking itself, which is honestly the point.
Strawberry season runs late May until mid September, so it's not a year-round trip. The wider farm shop stays open a bit longer, from mid May through to early November, seven days a week between 9am and 5pm.
Once you're done in the fields, the Berrylicious stall sells fresh fruit on site. It's a low-key visit rather than a full day out, and probably suits a morning or an afternoon rather than an entire day, but that makes it an easy one to slot in alongside something else nearby.
