This one acre orchard is a lovely, peaceful spot within
walking distance of Canterbury city centre. Most
orchards in Kent have been transformed in recent years, with old fruit
trees grubbed out in favour of modern dwarf varieties. Neal's Place,
however, has retained its traditional features, and all the wildlife value
of an old orchard. Birds, insects and small mammals are attracted by the
old trees, their blossom and windfall fruit, while wild flowers grow among
the grass. Visitors are allowed open access within the site.
Note: Current open access agreement ends
30/9/2003.
