Immediately adjoining Mews Hill, we have planted up a small copse which is also fenced off to stop the deer and rabbits getting in. We have also put a picnic bench there and from now on will allow our guests to use the copse. As well as providing the perfect picnic area, the fencing will also provide a great dog run! Enjoy. You also have access to an additional private woodland for picnics and lovely walks.
