"A well used green space close to the town centre was enhanced in celebration of the millennium. With the Mardle on its north side and Dean Burn to the west the sound of running water is ever-present, as are the ducks that roam around during the daytime." – Buckfastleigh Conservation Area Appraisal, Dartmoor National Park Authority March 2005. Also known as Millman's Orchard. The sign asserts that it was an initiative of the Countryside Agency. The footbridge across the Mardle at the back, left, is a replacement financed by a grant.
