Heart Of The Shires

The place to go for gifts. Lovely shops to wander around after a drive along a roman road. The little restaurant is just right for a place to review your purchases.

Set off the main road, this is a delightful place, lovely setting and variety of shops. The place is beautiful kept, and the restaurant offers delicious food at a very reasonable price. Plenty of free parking too.

Had a very enjoyable morning wandering around the shops. This was my first visit but I'm definitely going to come back again. Also had a bit of lunch at Darlingtons Tea Rooms yum yum!

Just a slight diversion of the M1 these shops are conveniently placed for a nice break on a journey or just to visit if nearby. Set in a victorian courtyard that is decorated in a beautiful way, the shops are all small independent businesses selling goods from house ware to art, gifts and clothing. The tea room in the yard looked like a nice spot for lunch however was unfortunately full when we visited. I would recommend going straight to the tea room if you intend to visit as if they are full they can take your number and phone you whilst you shop around!
