Waterslack Farm, Coffee Shop and Garden Centre

Waterslack Farm Shop, Café and Garden Centre is unique. Located on the site of the 16th Century Farmhouse, originally a Pig Farm, it offers something very different.

Steve and Ruth, the owners, set out with the objective of creating a special attraction, that whilst being commercially viable, offers the visitor a wonderful sensory experience.

The location of Waterslack contributes significantly as the Centre is surrounded by National Trust woodlands, nature reserves with a wide variety of wildlife, fauna and flora, wetlands and limestone paving outcrops.

Within the Centre there are a number of activities vying for your attention including:

The Farm Shop with a wide variety of local produce, our Animal and Bird Park that provides interest for both adults and children alike. The Licensed Café and our Craft Gallery with unique products from the Far East, France and U.K.

Other key areas not to miss include the Garden Shop, Water Feature Park, Pet and Animal Cabin, Garden Pots and Statuary, and Natural Product Structures.
