A note from the site themselves...

When we brought the land, it hadn't been used in over 50 years. It was very overgrown and unwelcoming and with lots and lots of work it has become what it is today.

In 2022, we welcomed our little boy. We decided to name the site after our son, Arthur, hopefully it will become something special for Arthur to take over when he's old enough.

The site attracts lots of wildlife now. We have lots of ducks and moor hens visit and regularly see deer, owls, buzzards and hares, it has really has become a little beauty spot. We hope you'll enjoy as much as we do, we hope to meet you soon, Hollie
