About The Smithy
As this is a small garden, we’d prefer to limit numbers to 20 visitors at a time.
The Smithy
Small oasis of calm in the town centre, designed by its architect-owners. Pretty colour-themed borders and dappled tree cover. Many visitors comment about how the owners have optimised the use of the space without appearing to cram it all in. Herbaceous borders, wildlife pond, octagonal greenhouse, raised vegetable beds and several different seating areas for eating outdoors.
