There is plenty of room to lounge in the sun, kick a football and play. For use in the garden there is a table and 6 chairs and a barbeque.
Many birds come into the garden and we have seen jays, warblers, bullfinch, and often see birds of prey soaring nearby.
For anyone keen on astronomy, on a clear night, the garden is ideal for watching the stars, as there is absolutely no light pollution! If you wish to walk into town, we recommend taking a torch for those late evening returns.
