Wildlife Garden
The wildlife garden at the rear of the site is a quiet and secluded haven for all visitors and residents - breeding and migrating birds, amphibians, mammals (including humans), a wide range of insects and other invertebrates. It is used by local schools for environmental education and by the wider community for general recreation, celebration days, open evenings and weekends.
