Townsend Community Orchard Path Closure

Published: 19 May 2022

The path through Townsend Community Orchard will be closed from 6th June for up to two weeks while works to improve the accessibility of the Orchard take place.  

The surface of the path will be improved, allowing for better (and less muddy!) access all year round and the entrance from Mallard Croft will be widened to accommodate those using wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Raised flower beds will also be installed to improve the sensory experience. 

Whilst it will not be possible to use the path or cut through the orchard during works, partial access to the Orchard may be possible via the Townsend entrance.
