The hamlet boasts a castle with gardens you can visit, a farm shop and the pub voted Britain's best
Even residents describe it as in the "middle of nowhere", but the tiny village of Cholmondeley in Cheshire has a lot going on to entice visitors to drive out and find it. The village is largely made up of the Cholmondeley Estate, the historic parkland where a famous castle and gardens sit.
The castle and estate is owned by Lord and Lady Cholmondeley, a family that has owned the estate here for over 500 years. Lord Cholmondeley enjoys close ties with the Royal Family as a Lord-in-Waiting to King Charles III, while their "other" ancestral home is Houghton Hall in Norfolk, making Lord and Lady Cholmondeley neighbours to Prince William and Princess Catherine.
Here, you'll find a wealth of local produce including meats, vegetables and Cheshire Farm Ice Cream which is made just down the road in Tattenhall. Inside "Britain's Best Pub" The Cholmondeley Arms is still revelling in scooping the top honour at the Great British Pub Awards at the end of last year. It was named Pub of the Year as well as rural pub of the year, with judges praising its "wow factor that impresses anyone that crosses the threshold".
"There are not many houses as we're in the middle of nowhere really, but we are always busy with locals and visitors. We get a lot of people visiting from Manchester now to come and see us which is really great."
