Do you want an allotment?
Consider not only the simple pleasure of growing fresh fruit, flowers and vegetables, but also other health benefits. The gentle exercise away from everyday pressures - less expensive and less boring than going to the gym!
The site, being a large one, is a place to unwind in peace and quiet.

There are over 300 allotments, or Leisure Gardens, many with mature fruit trees.
The Chaffinch brook runs through the site and this encourages a wide range of wild life. Some members have built small ponds into their plots for the frogs, dragonflies and other pond life.
The soil varies from light loam to soil with a clay content. There is mains water on the site, with water tanks along the grass roadways, but due to the current Thames Water ban, hoses are NOT ALLOWED.
