I found Yorkshire's most delicious ice cream by turning right before Skirlaugh
I pay a visit to The Farm Shop at Skirlaugh and end up with a basket of goodies.
If you're like me, you've probably gone past the sign for the farm shop off the A165 on dozens of occasions without a second thought.
After all, it's in the limbo between Skirlaugh and Willow Pastures Country Park and it's easy to drive past if you're on a mission and headed elsewhere. But curiosity got the better of me one day and I doubled back to have a nosy.
The car park for The Farm Shop @ Skirlaugh is well maintained and there are picnic benches conveniently arranged in a sun trap at the far side next to some fields. A converted barn has been transformed into the spacious main shop.
My first impression was that it was very charming. Inside, the shelves were rammed with local produce, including fresh free range eggs, cheeses, meats, homemade meat pies, traditional pork pies, luxury fish pies from Grimsby, locally made oils, sauces, and freshly baked bread.
