Places to Go

The Merseyside countryside has a great deal to offer. Farm attractions set in a stunning landscape of thriving woodlands, sparkling waterways, wildflower meadows and natures reserves, make Merseyside an ideal destination for a day out or weekend away. Discover a new side to Merseyside!

Outlets such as farm shops and farmers’ markets allow the consumer the opportunity to meet the producer face to face and ask questions. Consumers can be more confident of the origins of the food. Food is fresher and therefore of a higher nutritional value. Supermarket food travels on average 1000 miles compared to an average of 30 miles for food sold on a farmers’ market. Packaging is reduced, which is better for the environment. Rearing, slaughtering and selling animals locally helps to prevent the spread of disease.
