The local Scout troop met in The Grange, his large house, as far back as the 1930s. The site is home and a s

afe haven to a great variety of birds, mammals and plants. Look out for Swans, Kingfishers, Herons, Muntjack Deer, Rabbits and Moorhens amongst others. We offer affordable camping with access to hot showers in large washrooms.
