Caravanners who love taking breaks in or around the National Forest might enjoy a new publication which could make their holidays even more enjoyable.
The new edition of the National Forest Food Guide is available now and educates readers on the variety of tasty treats to be sampled in the area.
It contains advice on where to buy delicious local food, covering everything from cakes and beer to mushrooms, bread and cheese.
Now in its fifth year, the guide has been compiled by local food expert Barry Smith and is regularly updated with new additions.
“It always surprises me that with every issue I discover more places to include in the guide,” Mr Smith said.
“I always welcome suggestions from members of the public.”
He encouraged locals and visitors to get in touch with any ideas they may have for new additions.
The National Forest is 200 square miles of woodland which extends into Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
