Perfect place to explore this weekend
It's foodie favourite, the Buck Inn, is well-known and widely regarded as one of the best gastropubs in the UK. But a mysterious sign inside a wooden frame attached to a lamppost reads: "Waddington, The Television Village, 1990".A couple of decades ago, Waddington took part in a 'TV experiment' which saw the now-defunct Granada TV temporarily set-up production and proceeded to broadcast for an hourly each evening, directly from the village hall studio.
In fact, you only really need to visit the magical Jubilee/Coronation Garden, with its technicolour flowerbeds and classic sundial. Of course, it helped that we visited during a sharp two-tone blue-sky day with the spring sun beating down, but honestly, we've seen Waddington's wonder sneak through, even in the relentless rain and bleak winter months, too.
The tiny Post Office and village is very much in-keeping with the country village aesthetic, sitting neatly in a row of yellowstone cottages. Its bright red door matches the post box and the store sits behind a traditional black and white signpost, punctuated by a more modern brown tourist sign, pointing towards nearby Eaves Country Hotel.
