Owned by a family of farmers for over one-hundred years, Claremont Farm has gone from humble beginnings to become one of the most popular alternative attractions for families in the North West, with a touch of entrepreneurship and richness of northern soul.
It may not be home to thrill-seeking rides, swimming pools or exotic animals but its raw and organic approach to activities is what makes it so enticing to all those who visit. It feels for many, distinctly British, in that old-fashioned way that ignites the fond memories of those who remember the less-commercialised days.
For those lucky enough to live close to the farm, its warm and welcoming atmosphere, events and shop make it a real hub within the community and a true gem of the peninsula.

Farm Shop
Claremont Farm Shop offers a breath of fresh air away from the commercialised supermarkets where the regular British shopper frequents, unaware that their fruit and vegetables have travelled a lot further than they have.
All the produce in the shop has either been grown in the farm or has come from other independent suppliers within the region. Claremont Farm works with over fifty local suppliers including local producers, farmers, gamekeepers and artisans, each putting passion and craft into their work. The fruit and vegetables offer a fresh and organic taste to customers, exactly how they should be enjoyed, in their rawest form. Along with groceries, customers can shop for everything from dairy products, meat and cheese to artisan breads, rice, grains and pulses.
For those who really want to immerse themselves in the countrified peninsula lifestyle, a visit to the Farm Shop is a must. Not only for the delicious foods but also to get to know the local community in its adjoining café.
Berry Picking
After over forty years, Claremont Farm is best known for its berry picking, with many families from across the North West visiting the farm to enjoy one of the country’s favourite pastimes.
The farm grows a range of delicious summer fruits from strawberries, raspberries and tayberries to blackcurrants and gooseberries. On the beautiful British summer days, you can find many families taking to the vast fields to take part in their own adventure, exploring the rows of plants and allowing children to see exactly where their food comes from. Visitors will also be able to discover varieties of the berries which are not available in local supermarkets, making a trip to the farm all the more special.
free tractor ride around the fields will direct visitors to the best spots for pickings. The berry picking at Claremont Farm is available from the middle of June to the end of July. However, during the autumnal months, many take to the farm to pick their Halloween pumpkin, making the farm a great destination all year round.
