The Highgrove Shop!
Located in Tetbury - Gloucestershire, the Highgrove shop is a neat little outlet which sells merchandise from both the Highgrove estate itself, and from the official Buckingham Palace Royal Collection range (just a pity i could not afford one of the large watercolour prints on the wall which had been hand signed by Prince Charles). Didn't film inside though as there wasn't any other customers and i didn't wanna get kicked out.

Highgrove House
Highgrove House is the family residence of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, situated south west of Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England. Built in the late 18th century, Highgrove and its estate was owned by various families until it was purchased in 1980 by the Duchy of Cornwall from Maurice Macmillan. Charles remodelled the Georgian house with neo-classical additions in 1987. The duchy manages the estate and the nearby Duchy Home Farm. The house is noted for its extensive gardens which receive more than 30,000 visitors a year. The house and gardens are run according to Charles' environmental principles, and have been the subject of several books and television programmes. Charles frequently hosts various charitable events at the house.

Tetbury is a small town and civil parish within the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. Tetbury lies on the site of an ancient hill fort, on which an Anglo-Saxon monastery was founded, probably by Ine of Wessex, in 681.
During the Middle Ages, Tetbury became an important market for Cotswold wool and yarn. The Tetbury Woolsack Races, Founded 1972, is an annual competition where participants must carry a 60-pound (27 kg) sack of wool up and down a steep hill (Gumstool Hill). The Tetbury Woolsack Races take place on the late May Bank Holiday, the last Monday in May each year (27 May for 2013).
Notable buildings in the town include the Market House, built in 1655 and the late-eighteenth century Gothic revival parish church of St Mary the Virgin and St Mary Magdalene and much of the rest of the town centre, dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Market House is a fine example of a Cotswold pillared market house and is still in use as a meeting place and market. Other attractions include the Police Bygones Museum. Chavenage House, Highgrove House and Westonbirt Arboretum lie just outside the town.
Tetbury has won five consecutive Gold awards in the Regional Heart of England in Bloom competition in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and was category winner Best Small Town in 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2010 Tetbury was Overall Winner of Heart of England in Bloom and won a Judges Discretionary Award for Community Achievement. Tetbury won Silver Gilt as a first-time entrant in the National Britain in Bloom Campaign in 2009 and a second Silver Gilt in Britain in Bloom in 2011. The Tetbury town crest features two dolphins.
Tetbury is situated in a landscape of gently rolling hills primarily used for farmland, including grazing of sheep and grain production. Its location is associated with a nearby major east-west trade or drovers trail, which would account for its early importance as a wool trade centre. Nearby to the west are Owlpen Manor, Beverston Castle and Calcot Manor. The Tetbury Avon, a tributary of the Bristol Avon, known locally as the Ingleburn rises to the north of the town.
Tetbury is renowned for its antique and bric à brac shops.The town centre also has a number of independent specialist food and clothing shops, banks, charity shops, estate agents and other shops including lifestyle clothing brand Overider and the Prince of Wales's original Highgrove Shop.
Tetbury has bus services which serve local towns. Tetbury railway station closed in 1964, and the nearest railway station is now at Kemble; the nearest major airport is Bristol Airport. General aviation uses Kemble Airport at Kemble. The former airfield at Long Newnton (1 mi southeast of Tetbury) was originally the home of the Cotswold Gliding Club, which has since moved 6 mi to the north to Aston Down. Tetbury is on the A433, with easy access to the M4 and M5 motorways. The A4135 originates in Tetbury and proceeds westerly through Beverston.

Highgrove of Helvetia
Inspired by Prince Charles' own Highgrove in Gloucestershire England, the property is infused with the same dedication to organic farming, respect for wild nature and love for creating beauty in artful ways. The elegant colonial farmhouse sits atop secluded, gently rolling grounds in a bucolic setting mixing farms with luxurious scenery. Local craftsmen spent 25 years creating a necklace of secret gardens, fruitful orchards, Pinot Noir vineyards, wild flower meadows, stone walkways, wood groves, peaceful hills, and an artistically crafted home on the 93.57 acre estate.
Not just for looks there are many working buildings on the property as well, including a cider press, barns, chicken coop, carriage house and loft apartment, office building, ballroom/dance hall and storage for machinery and equipment.
It is situated a short 2 miles from Highway 26, 20 minutes from Portland and 7 minutes from the Hillsboro airport, but it feels a million miles away from the frantic pace of the rest of the world.

The Farmer and his Prince TRAILER
DVD:
This film depicts a Prince, who has the vision to feed the world with organic agriculture and heal damaged nature. Alongside his charismatic farm manager David Wilson, he has been pursuing this goal for 30 years. Through poetically impressive images, this unique collaboration portrays how organic agriculture works, and the benefits that emanate from it. Bertram Verhaag observed these two visionaries over the course of five years - through all four seasons.
The Prince of Wales already felt strongly about the concept of organic and sustainable farming long before the word “sustainability” was on everyone’s lips. More than 30 years ago, he realised that other farmers could only be swayed to cultivate their land without poisons and in harmony with nature, if they were presented with a practical example. This example turned into an exceptional success and now, farmers from all over the United Kingdom travel to the Duchy Home Farm, to gather the courage and knowledge they need, to convert to organic themselves. Prince Charles appears in an entirely unusual light, which forces the viewer to throw all prejudices towards him and organic agriculture overboard.

Cotswold Walks Tetbury and the old Railway
Tetbury, another Cotswold town built from the proceeds of wool, with many fine buildings and amenities. The parish church of St Mary boasts one of the tallest spires in England, whilst the grand pillared market hall dates back to the early 1600’s. It is impossible to photograph within the town limits without capturing historic buildings. Prince Charles residence at Highgrove is not too far away, and there was a Highgrove produce shop in the town, although I didn’t find it on this occasion. Gatcombe Park, home of the Princess Royal is not very far away so this area is well represented in terms of Royal patronage. The so called ‘Chipping Steps’ are another unique feature within the town, very photogenic, too good to be missed. There are many restaurants cafes and hotels here to cater to the needs of the visitor.
This walk gains access to the town via the old GWR railway track bed, harking back to the days when it had its own branch line connection. Today it makes for a superb path through a leafy tunnel. Most of the station infrastructure has long since disappeared but the old goods shed has been retained and refurbished to make a modern events venue, and the goods yard is now a free car park. One or two other hint at its past, such as the original GWR station seats and a pair of loading gauges acting as a height restriction to oversize vehicles just as they did in the days of the railway.
