Vale View

The garden is allowed free rein as much as possible for the benefit of wildlife and is now no-mow apart from paths. Nectar rich and seed bearing plants are encouraged and insects and birds flourish. The garden has a small field attached which is left to grass and a promising vegetable patch with fruit trees. A pond has recently been created for wildlife.

About Vale View

The grass field has not been cut for at least five years and the small mammals encourage raptors such as Barn Owl, Kestrel, Buzzard, Sparrow Hawk and Red Kite. Foxes and badgers have been seen. Wild flowers such as Cowslip, Cuckoo Flower and Yellow Rattle are establishing themselves along with many of the old corn field flowers rarely seen in the wild these days. Good views over valley to Brixworth.
