Defined as tourism or leisure activities on a farm or estate, agritourism encompasses a range of experiences including accommodation, educational tours, hands-on activities, seasonal events, and purchasing fresh, local produce directly from farm shops. In recent years, agritourism has emerged as a vibrant and exciting travel trend and visitors are increasingly drawn to authentic experiences that allow them to connect with the countryside and savour the local flavours of Scotland’s natural larder. East Lothian, with its rich agricultural heritage and diverse farm-based experiences, is at the forefront of this trend.
To celebrate and showcase the region’s agritourism offerings, a new video has been launched by Visit East Lothian highlighting the unique and engaging experiences available across the region. We are delighted to be a part of East Lothian’s agritourism community and enjoyed taking part in the video. You can watch the video below or click here to go to Visit East Lothian’s YouTube channel.
