Hiking
If you're seeking refreshment, The Saville Arms represents the last remaining pub in the village of Eakring – there used to be seven! The Daffodil Tearoom is also a delicious option.
Interestingly, Eakring was once the largest on-shore oil field in Britain, after the precious resource was discovered here in 1939. Though today the oil is spent, Eakring maintains its charm thanks to distinctive red-roofed houses, its five-storey brick windmill and the friendly locals.
