This is the entrance to a very pleasant small copse, with dry paths, benches and wooden sculptures. When Brenda Knoff from Newlands school was inspired to start a city farm in Southampton back in the 1980's this is the land she was granted the use off. In class the children did many projects about city farms and visited an already successful one in Bristol. The First digging started in this area and the children all had vegetable plots. The current farm can be viewed if you walk through the woodland, but this land has now past back to the council for public recreational use.
