A note from the site themselves...

If you want peace and tranquility and a totally relaxed away from it all feeling, then Middlehead is the place for you. At Middlehead with it's surrounding forest, wildlife, cycling tracks, walks and natural beauty, it cannot fail to please. A lovely place to be and even better to call it a work environment.

Never a day passes when something happens that surprises you. It could be Geese that suddenly drop into the pond and decide to stay and produce chicks. It could be Moorhens that decide to come and again breed. The occasional Roe deer coming into the field to say hello and even better a Red Stag so majestic in their beauty.
