Reviews
This is a section of property including across the Street and another parcel off of Thornbush.
The babbling brook winds it’s way under the road between, and while a sort of path around the fields has been trodden, there is not a “trail”. I have fat biked over the fields when dry or frozen, but conditions can be often very wet sometimes so walkers be prepared.
There is a bike parking lock up and a nice bench.
Beautiful open space with bike rack and bench! Saw 2 deer run through this morning at 6am
Gorgeous bit of land that used to be an operating dairy farm. Appreciate the history of the property.
Nice place to run the dog. Bigger then I thought.
Wide open field on a hill, nice for walking.
