Clarkson’s Farm appears to have created a “national and international” tourist boom in the Cotswolds. The local council, who had been at loggerheads with Clarkson’s Farm over planning applications, has finally acknowledged that the hit Amazon show and farm shop bring “benefits to the local economy”.
This is from hundreds of fans from around the world visiting the Cotswolds, including nearby Chipping Norton. In a local interview, a spokesman from West Oxfordshire County Council said: “The work Diddly Squat Farm is doing to highlight the wider challenges faced by farmers is commendable and we have always recognised the benefits the farm shop brings to the local economy.” Another nearby local council, in Chipping Norton, which hasn’t been involved in Clarkson’s planning dispute, is even more praiseworthy, welcoming visitors despite the traffic and parking issues.
Chipping Norton Town Council said on the front page of its website: “We are grateful for the local, national, and international attention that Clarkson’s Farm has brought to Chipping Norton,” it said. “..
..we look forward to welcoming many new visitors to Chippy soon!” The gang's all here on Clarkson's Farm (Image: amazon) Clarkson, the former Top Gear presenter, was involved in a bruising battle with planning authorities which was played out in the show.
