'I learned a valuable lesson after visiting Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm'
'I learned a valuable lesson after visiting Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm' It's no secret that Jeremy Clarkson is a very hands-on farmer and loves to meet his fans, but unfortunately for one adventurer they didn't get the chance to see him in action Jeremy Clarkson announces Season 5 of Clarkson's Farm is in production As a devoted fan of Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm show, I was thrilled at the prospect of visiting the famed Oxfordshire site and perhaps even catching a glimpse of the former Top Gear presenter himself. According to steadfast fans who have had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy, he is said to be an extremely welcoming host, often willing to pose for a photo or two with fortunate visitors to his farm, when he is around. I was over the moon when my partner surprised me with a memorable birthday present - a quick weekend getaway to the Cotswolds, including an overnight stay in the idyllic town of Chipping Norton. This was the perfect chance to see the much-loved farm in all its splendour and possibly even mingle with some of the show's stars, including Gerald and Kaleb Cooper, who, despite sharing a surname, are not related. As enthusiastic walkers and fans of Jeremy's show, we were keen to make the most of our brief two-night stay, setting off early on Saturday morning for the two-and-a-half-hour car journey to ensure we didn't waste a single moment, reports Surrey Live. I didn't sadly get to meet Jeremy on person Article continues below Unfortunately due to torrential rain and cold weather, our plans to visit the Diddly Squat Farm Shop first were put on hold. Little did we know, this last-minute change would turn out to be the biggest mistake of our entire trip. We had neglected to check if Jeremy's Farm was actually open before rearranging our schedule due to the poor weather. To our disappointment, we discovered upon arrival the next day that his well-known establishment is closed to the public on both Mondays and Tuesdays. A quick pit stop in Castle Combe village before the rain came As we navigated country lanes, it dawned on us that Jeremy's farm was significantly more remote than anticipated, and despite warnings of likely congestion, we were elated to seemingly bypass any tailbacks. Article continues below However, our arrival at the cherished Diddly Squat Farm was met with a deserted car park and a mere rope signifying the farm was "closed". Fortunately, the journey wasn't entirely in vain as we achieved the coveted Diddly Squat Farm sign photo for Instagram, remarkably without another soul in sight. Clarkson's Farm is available to watch on Prime Video.

Jeremy Clarkson's bitter split from ex-wife after 'affair' claims and 'perfect upgrade'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Jeremy Clarkson, the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, has had quite the eventful love life. At 64, he's been with actress and model Lisa Hogan, 51, for seven years. His past includes two marriages and fatherhood to three grown-up children. Currently, Jeremy shares his life with Lisa, who features on his programme Clarkson's Farm, filmed at the well-known Diddly Squat Farm. But his path in matters of the heart has seen its fair share of bumps. The ex-Top Gear presenter first married Alex Hall in 1989, but she left him for one of his mates after just a couple of years, reports the Express. Years later, in 2011, Alex admitted to The Telegraph that parting ways with Jeremy was a grave mistake: "I can't go into that because I have to think of my children and other people, but leaving Jeremy was the biggest mistake of my life. "I still love him, I always have, but I believed that if you make your bed, you've got to lie in it." (Image: Getty) Jeremy then married his manager, Frances Cain, in May 1993, with whom he has three children, Emily, Finlo, and Katya. In 1999, Alex claimed she and the host had an affair that lasted ten years, according to the Mirror. The TV personality strongly denied these claims and attempted to hit Alex with a High Court injunction. In a surprising development, he later requested the repeal of the order, acknowledging his remorse and criticising: "Injunctions are complete nonsense." (Image: Getty) Reflecting on his decision at that time, he said: "I overturned my own injunction because injunctions don't work. If you take out an injunction there is the automatic assumption that you must be hiding something. Bear in mind my wife and I took out this injunction it wasn't just me. "Yet we came to realise, with Twitter and Facebook in play, you're not really shielded anymore. The shift hasn't been so much in the law but in its interpretation you cannot simply obtain an injunction and then drop the matter; the court insists on pushing you to trial, which comes with an exorbitant price tag. Jeremy further stated: "Should I win, it's blasted across Twitter and Facebook anyway and I'm powerless to stop it. If I lose, the bill for her legal fees lands on my doorstep. Injunctions are complete nonsense. I look back in regret to the day I was counselled to get one." (Image: Getty) Jeremy and Frances parted ways in 2014 amid speculations that he had grown close to his PA, Phillipa Sage, whom he encountered on the Top Gear set. Their romance lasted until 2017, when Clarkson was spotted with Lisa Hogan. "He'd actually told me, 'I was born for you', and asked me to stay the night a few days before he was out with Lisa," she disclosed to Mail Online. "Then, one of my friends pointed out the photograph of him with another woman. I thought, 'Oh yes, she's definitely his type. (Image: Getty) "She's tall and blonde. He's gone for the perfect upgrade: taller, skinnier, younger. So I was like, 'F**k off, what are you doing when we are supposed to be working things out?' "He told me to calm down. He told me she was just a friend, then a couple of weeks later he told me he wanted to be with her." Jeremy has never confirmed nor refuted these claims. Lisa Hogan, his current partner, has made it clear she is not looking to be his third wife. In a discussion with Fabulous magazine, she expressed: "Mrs Clarkson? No, thank you, I prefer being Lisa Hogan." Clarkson's Farm is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Where is Clarkson's Farm and can I visit Diddly Squat farm shop and the Farmer's Dog pub?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JEREMY Clarkson leads the rest of the Diddly Squat gang as the show returns for its fourth season. While Diddly Squat Farm and Farm Shop have been somewhat of an attraction since the show's debut in 2021, the unveiling of Jeremy's new pub has made a lot of people wonder if they can visit. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Clarkson's Farm started in 2021 and was an instant hit with fans Credit: Amazon Where is Clarkson's Farm and can I visit Diddly Squat Farm Shop and the Farmer's Dog pub? Diddly Squat Farm Shop and the Farmer's Dog are both open to visitors! After a brief closure to the Farm Shop earlier this year, fans can now visit again and make a trip to the idyllic Cotswolds. The exact location of the Farm Shop is 5-12 Chipping Norton Road, Chadlington, Chipping Norton, OX7 3PE. Once there, fans will be able to experience some of the key locations featured on the Clarkson-fronted show. While visiting the site, many will hope to catch a glimpse of the rising stars of the show, including fan favourite Kaleb Cooper, straight-man and farm management consultant Charlie Ireland, the humorous Gerald Cooper, plus farm shop front-woman and Jezza's partner, Lisa Hogan. The iconic shop has become a public attraction since it opened, with thousands flocking to it each year, much to the dislike of some of the community. For visitors coming from outside the Cotswolds, the trip can take two hours from central London by car, or two and a half hours by public transport. If fans are staying nearby there is the X9 bus from The Bell Hotel in Charlbury that will take them straight past the 1000 acres site and near the Farm Shop. 3 Queues are a common feature at the popular farm shop in the Cotswolds Credit: SWNS Previously, the farm also had a functioning restaurant on location called The Big View Café, but this was shut down due to excessive traffic. In response, this series of the hit show followed the former Top Gear presenter's trials and tribulations of trying to open a pub. Viewers watched each episode as Jeremy struggled to find a suitable pub for his new venture, despite the sheer number of venues available. Finally, Jeremy found a pub, which was formerly known as the Windmill, and renovated and renamed it to the Farmer's Dog. The latest weapon in Jeremy's farming armoury is located off the Asthall Barrow Roundabout, Burford OX18 4HJ. As it is a working farm, visitors are best to stick to the Farm Shop and Pub - so do not expect to see Jeremy riding around in his infamous Lamborghini tractor. 3 The renamed pub opened last year and is already a popular destination Credit: Adrian Sherratt What can you expect at The Farmer's Dog? The pub, which champions British farmers, is sure to be on top of fans' bucket lists. Jeremy's main reason behind opening the pub was that he wanted everything to come from British farms within a certain radius, so don't expect to see any Heinz ketchup on offer. Instead, visitors to the pub can treat themselves to the steak pie, ham hock terrine, rhubarb crumble, and a wide range of other menu items, all knowing that it has come from local farmers. Since the pub opened, it has been extremely busy, and after the show aired, its popularity has soared. And so, for fans hoping to pay a visit in the near future, you may have to wait a while. Bookings for the new Oxfordshire landmark open each month but get snapped up fast, with forums set up on social media helping fans get their chance to visit.
