Berry

Reporter: Sally Obermeder

 

Berry is a great spot for a weekend away and an even better spot for shopping. This is thanks to the fact that it's a mecca of antique, and craft shops. It's unlikely you'll visit without taking home a purchase.

 

 

 

Berry is a heritage town as many buildings and features of a bygone era have been preserved and are classified by the National Trust.

 

The Treat Factory

 

At the Treat Factory, you can buy a huge range of goodies direct from the producer. They make a large assortment of Belgian Chocolates & more than 200 varieties of conserves, condiments, pickles, chutneys & sauces!
