hedgerow fruit in The Ley

The hedgerows around the farm are full of ripe fruit; these blackberries, wild apples, sloes, hawthorn berries and rosehips are growing in the hedge alongside the footpath in The Ley. A delicious combination to make Hedgerow Jam or Cordial.

Picking Sloes

Did you know that the name Great Slamseys originates from the Old English meaning "enclosure of the sloe (tree) hill"?
