Things to do
around Mickleton

Mickleton is a working village rather than a showpiece, and that's much of its appeal. Within a couple of miles you'll find six places to eat and drink, three shops, three things to visit and two places to stay, which is enough to fill a morning or an afternoon without ever feeling that you're queuing behind a coach party. It suits visitors who like their days unhurried: a bit of browsing, a proper sit-down with a pot of tea, and a base that's quiet at night. If you're staying rather than passing through, the village works well as somewhere to come back to at the end of a day out.

A good few hours here might begin at Page's Farm Shop, where you can pick up something for later or simply see what's local and in season. From there it's worth giving yourself time at Mickleton Antiques, the kind of place where you go in for five minutes and come out half an hour later. Break for cake at Decades Tearooms or Winthrop's Café, and if you're staying over, Three Ways House Hotel puts you within walking distance of all of it.
