Shared Clarkson's Farm Tour: Local Guide, Diddly Squat & More

Meet Simon outside the ticket office at Moreton-in-Marsh Railway Station at 10:20 for a 10:30 departure. Local pickups around Chipping Norton may be possible by prior arrangement. With a maximum of seven guests, this is a relaxed small-group tour hosted by Simon, a Chipping Norton local with a farming background. From Moreton-in-Marsh, we head through Chipping Norton and into the countryside around Clarkson’s Farm.

At Diddly Squat Farm Shop, you’ll have around 45 minutes to take photos, look around and buy something to eat or drink. You can visit the shop, but when it’s busy I often recommend avoiding the queue, as there are other local ways to buy Diddly Squat products without waiting. I do not offer queue-jumping or guarantee time to enter the shop.

rom Diddly Squat, I take you through the local village and countryside to filming locations connected with Clarkson’s Farm, including a countryside walk and several stops from the programme. I deliberately don’t advertise every location in advance — part of the fun is discovering some of these places on the day.

I also take you to a traditional village pub used by Jeremy Clarkson and Gerald Cooper, with time for a drink before we continue towards The Farmer’s Dog. The drive takes us through some beautiful Cotswold countryside that most visitors — and even many locals — miss.

At The Farmer’s Dog, you’ll usually have around 80–90 minutes to buy food and drinks, explore The Grand Tour Tent, and go inside the pub for drinks and photos. A reserved table or sit-down meal inside the pub is not included.

The afternoon continues through the Cotswolds, usually via Burford and Bourton-on-the-Water, depending on traffic. This is a scenic drive rather than a scheduled stop.
