Welcome to our community garden

About Us

Lydford Forest Gardens was first opened to the community in 1998. The site in West Lydford is opposite the churchyard and next to the weir on the River Brue. This beauty spot is served by very popular public footpaths.
Within the community garden there are seating areas for people of all ages to rest and enjoy the garden. At different times in the year all are welcome to share in the fruit grown
