Rhug Estate is the home of Lord Newborough, covering about 12,500 acres of land in Denbighshire. But that’s not why we’re recommending it to you. Rhug Estate is also an organic farm, an award winning one at that, with seven Guild of Fine Food Taste Awards to its name, as well as a place on The Times’ 20 Best Farm Shops in Britain list.
The Farm Shop is the place to go if you want some fantastic local produce to take home with you. With dozens of awards, it is obviously a popular destination, home to a massive variety of local cheeses, meats, burgers and pies, all of which are organic and delicious. The leg of Welsh lamb is a particular favourite, as is the Aberdeen Angus rolled sirloin.
There’s also a bakery, with some fabulously Welsh products like Bara Brith and Welsh cakes. But the real star of the show would have to be the Bison Grill Bistro, a restaurant in which you can enjoy a menu filled with local and seasonal produce, such as Anglesey sea bass, venison sausages in a sloe gin gravy, and the house special Rhug Bison Burger, served with a lovely red onion marmalade. Yum!
Location
Rhug Estate Farm Shop is found between Tyn-y-cefn and Druid, just off the A5. There is parking available.

Hawarden Estate Farm Shop
The Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is the ideal destination for foodies. The perfectionists who work on the estate seem to never stop striving to improve their products, which vary wildly in size, shape, and flavour, but they all have a couple of things in common – they are all natural, and they all use only local ingredients and produce.
