Reviews
Wide open field on a hill, nice for walking.
Nice place to run the dog. Bigger then I thought.
Gorgeous bit of land that used to be an operating dairy farm. Appreciate the history of the property.
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
