The Greater Manchester farm shop with gorgeous views and home-made ice cream named among best

Run by the same family for the past 90 years, this Greater Manchester farm has diversified in recent years to open a shop, cafe and make its own home-made ice cream. Now Falshaw's Farm Shop in Bury has been honoured for its strong family tradition with a string of awards.
