St Oswalds had an acre of orchard until 10 years ago when we began to create a cottage garden alongside the fruit.  We try to garden in a sustainable and wildlife friendly way and have created many private sitting places for prayer and reflection.  In Spring you may find lambs at the top of the garden and we are usually blessed with chickens and bees.  The area abounds with good walks and there is a small church, always open, just up the lane.
