Pamela Gimblett is helping husband Francis transform the 100-acre ancient and semi natural woodland at Old Barn (site of the Press Pause Retreat) back to its original state.

She has spent 25 years delivering wine and cheese tastings to corporate clients, but is loving the new direction and after 4 years making a soft washed rind cheese, Floyd, is preparing a plant based menu for the retreat, hoping that as much food grown either in the kitchen garden or locally will play a part in our menus.
