An Oxfordshire pumpkin patch has been named among the best in the UK.

October has officially begun, and so has the countdown to Halloween with many families across the UK having made a new tradition of visiting a pumpkin patch ahead of the big day.

This allows children to pick their own pumpkins before carving and one of the best locations for this is just outside of Oxford.

Millets Farm Centre located on Kingston Road in Frilford near Abingdon has been named the third-best pumpkin patch in the country.
