grade 3 with sections of grade 4 at the northern end of
the farm and around the woodland and lake.

The northern field has been let to a local farmer who has
successfully been cultivating potatoes', but the land is
capable of producing good yields of other cash crops.
The area is certainly well known for growing Pumpkins
and Asparagus to name a few.

farm with mixed bags of mainly pheasants and duck
around the woodland and the lake.

years ago and has been used by angling clubs as

and their guests have been known to catch trout and
other species.
