Deer in the garden every morning this week..

Great Ashley Farm is a wonderful rural retreat and a haven for wildlife – take this morning for example, we woke to see deer grazing in the garden in amongst the 2.5 acres of trees planted 8 years ago there is an abundance of birds – all different breeds, there are wild ducks on the pond and moorhens and yet with 15 minutes you can be in the centre of the World Heritage City of Bath with it’s magnificent architecture and wonderful museum, the Roman Baths and the Thermae Spa !!!!   We are very fortunate, we have a little bit of something to offer everyone!!
