A much-loved Northumberland farm shop is set to close after 16 years of welcoming visitors.

Wheelbirks Parlour, located near Stocksfield, will shut its doors on Sunday, September 6, following the decision to put the estate up for sale.

The shop was recently named Farm Shop of the Year for the North East and has been celebrated for its Jersey cow milk, ice cream and other dairy products.

Wheelbirks Parlour said: "16 wonderful years. Thousands of memories. Thank you for being a part of our journey. With love and gratitude, The Richardson Family."

Part of a larger estate owned by the Richardson family for five generations, the business also includes an ice cream café, orchard garden, play area and retail spaces.

The estate has been placed on the market with a guide price of £6.75 million.
