Walnut lodge is situated in the grounds of Browns Farm which is a working Beef/Arable farm, where we grow 300 acres of cereals.
Situated on the edge of Savernake Forest overlooking open-farmland, Walnut lodge offers peace and tranquillity for a true North Wiltshire holiday. Wild deer, muntjac and an abundance of bird species are all seen visiting the garden frequently.
Browns farm is part of various environmental schemes where hedge planting and conservation areas are managed to encourage wildlife and birds to breed and live.
Direct access onto footpaths and bridle paths makes Walnut lodge and ideal base for walkers, cyclists and horse riders who are able to bring their own horses and dogs.
