The Long Barn Holiday Cottage. Stowe, Buckinghamshire
The Farm
Our 500 acre farm lies in a designated area of
Natural Beauty and benefits from being surrounded by the
leafy lanes of North Buckinghamshire.
Our main crop on this heavy clay soil is wheat, rotating
with beans, oats and oil seed rape.
Our grass land, much of which runs alongside the avenue
leading into the National Trust Stowe Landscape Gardens,
is grazed by breeding sheep with their lambs at foot.
We participate in the Countryside Stewardship Schemes which
enables us to restore hedgerows and ponds and leave
uncultivated fields over winter for the skylarks and brown hares.
Most of our fields have grass margins to protect wildlife
habitats and these can be walked in the summer months.
There is a Walkers Map in the barn.
