Pub at Stoke Bruerne 
This is the pub right next to the canal in Stoke Bruerne... it is lovely. SO popular in the summer as it had a massive garden and play area. I went on a first date here ages ago. Terrible date, but perfect location. You can sit and relax by the canal and watch the boats go by, or finish off a long walk with a drink, or go out for a proper dinner or lunch. Bit dated inside but it's a real gem and I would highly recommend it. Plenty of parking too. Just watch out for the screaming children....

Review of The Canal Museum

Great day out 
This is set next to the Grand Union Canal in Stoke Bruerne. The village is gorgeous with loads of pubs. It's so nice walking the dogs along the canal... the museum gives you an insight into the 200 year old story of our waterway transport. I know it sounds boring, but it's not. You can even try on clothes from 200 years ago. I went on a school trip years ago and I always remembered it because it was so much fun. Definitely worth a little expedition out to!

Review of Rookery Open Farm

BEST afternoon out
This is one of my FAVOURITE places EVER! I love animals so much and this place gives you the opportunity to see them close up. If you like farms, you'll love this place. They have sheep, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, rabbits.... the list goes on. However, I don't like the way the owners let young children go in with the goats. I saw a brat chasing a baby goat round and round until one of the staff told her to stop - I don't think it's fair on the animals and her parents' will be the first to complain if she gets booted in the face by the goat's horns. I think you should respect the personal space of animals just as you would with a human, but having said that the staff do seem to keep a close eye on what is going on. The animals are well kept and very friendly - the cows will let you stroke them and the pigs come grunting over to you for some love. They have a tea room and a children's play area (which is so noisy). The worst thing about this place is the number of screaming children running around... best to go on a weekday early and enjoy a walk around without Beatrice and Isabella screaming and falling all over the place!
