Emma Bridgewater
This highly successful local firm is known across Britain for its whimsical pottery designs. The hour-long factory tour (available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 10 am; advance booking required) shows how Emma Bridgewater herself adapted 200-year-old techniques, and you can book a session in the decorating studio to try your hand at designs of your own. There's also a gift shop, a cute café, and a walled country-style garden in the summer.
