It's worth a holiday in the Lake District just to visit Thornby Moor Dairy, Crofton Farm near Thursby. Sample the amazing range of cheeses made by artisan cheesemakes who aim to preserve the rich heritage of cheesemaking in Cumbria.  A great favourite is the traditional, cloth bound Cumberland cheese, made to an old recipe. All cheeses are available direct from the dairy, or by mail order. Local shorthorn cows provide the milk for the unpasteurized cheese. Goats cheese is another of the products visitors can buy in the shop after seeing the cheese being made.  Wedding cake tiers made of cheese and decorated with fruit are becoming more popular for brides designing something a little bit different.
