Fruit from the Orchard
Please feel free to take some apples if they are in season and ready, there are so many of them and we hate to see them go to waste so take as many as you like. Everyone loves a freebie, we are interested to see how many bags full some people carry!
As we continually year on year invest and improve the facilities we have at 5Acres, we are pleased to announce that we have completed, and now opened our new Shower & Toilet block.
There are 2 brand new, 5 star heated shower rooms, multiple toilets and plenty of hook up points. We also now have a washing room for dishes, pots and pans.
