Visit the real locations — and the parts of the area most people never see
​
Join a Clarkson’s Farm Tour in the Cotswolds, visiting real filming locations from the Amazon Prime series, including Diddly Squat Farm Shop, The Farmer’s Dog pub and Hawkstone Brewery, alongside other spots and parts of the area most visitors never reach.

​
The Day Includes:
​
-
Diddly Squat Farm Shop
-
The Farmer’s Dog pub
-
Hawkstone Brewery
​
…alongside additional filming locations and parts of the area not included on other tours.
​
Some of the best parts of the day aren’t listed online — and aren’t places you’d come across by chance.
​
That’s the difference between following a route — and being properly hosted by someone who knows the area and has worked the land here.
​
This isn’t a coach tour
​
​​
​
​
​
Small group. Maximum seven guests.
One dedicated local host.
One professional driver.
​
No rushing from stop to stop.
No parking problems.
No rigid timetable.
​
Because the group is small, the day stays flexible.
​
You’ll see the places you expect — and more besides.
​
It’s a day built around good company as much as good locations.
​
How the day works
​
We start from Moreton-in-Marsh and head straight into Clarkson’s corner of the Cotswolds.
(Pickup from local accommodation can be arranged where practical.)
​
The day moves between the main locations and lesser-known filming spots along the way.
​
By early evening, we arrive at a proper local pub near Clarkson’s Farm, where a table is reserved for the group.
​
From there, you’re very welcome to stay on for food and drinks and make an evening of it — or return at the arranged time.
​
Your Host
​
I live in Chipping Norton and have worked on farms in this area.
​
These aren’t places I’ve researched for a tour — they’re places I already know.
​
I know the people, the locations and the back lanes.
​
Most days, a dedicated driver handles the logistics so I can focus entirely on hosting — making sure the day runs properly and everyone enjoys it.
​
A proper day out
​
This isn’t a quick stop-and-go tour.
​
It’s a full afternoon into the evening — typically around 6+ hours — giving you time to enjoy each place properly, not just pass through.
​

Moreton-in-Marsh Railway Station
11:30 departure
Return transport at 18:30 is timed to connect with evening trains towards London and Worcestershire Parkway.
