The
remaining 20 acres is dedicated to open
parkland of grass,
gorse and rushes. Here the wild flowers,
of
the type
associated with Culm Grassland, flourish
in early summer. Butterflies abound in this rich
natural
environment. The lower parkland is bordered
by a brook which meanders at the foot of
mature
oaks.
The 3 acre lake and surrounding
wetland form the centrepiece of this environmental
site. The
lake is well stocked and the wetland provides
a superb habitat for a diverse selection of wildlife.
For those who like fishing there is great satisfaction
to be had from landing a fighting fish while
those
who enjoy good food will savour the taste of
organic rainbow trout.
