Farriers Cottage

Four acres of garden and meadows, hidden from sight behind the narrow garden entrance from the village Forstal. The formal flower garden behind the house moves through yew hedges into the kitchen garden and then, under a hornbeam arch, through two orchards to the wildlife pond and series of four small meadows which are managed to provide habitat for pollinators and other insects.
