BREDFIELD JUBILEE MEADOW AND ORCHARD
Bredfield Jubilee Meadow and Orchard is located in the midst of the village. It is a place that residents can visit and find a peaceful haven. In Spring and Summer, it is alive with a stunning display of wildflowers and attendant wildlife. Britain has lost 90% of its ancient meadows but we are fortunate to have a surviving example here in Bredfield.
Please visit the meadow and orchard, and attend our organised events. You can take an easy stroll around the mowed pathway, or sit in our shelter and admire the view. You are welcome to visit at any time, but please remember that it is an extremely sensitive site and should be used accordingly. There are a few rules that we ask you to follow:
- Please keep to the mowed path.
- You are welcome to walk your dog, but please keep the dog on a lead. Dog poo MUST be picked-up and discarded in the available bins. Bags are provided.
- Do not pick any of the wildflowers.
- Do not play ball games on the meadow. The playing field and play area behind Bredfield Village Hall is a much better location.
- Camping, barbeques and fires are strictly forbidden.
Occasional events are organised in Bredfield Jubilee Meadow and Orchard. The Wildflower Walk in June and the Apple Pressing Day in Autum are annual events. Look out for announcements for these and other events on noticeboards, in The Lantern, via MailChimp, and on the Bredfield Wildlife-friendly Village Facebook page.
