The Orchard by the Glashaboy River

Our land is mainly sloped and is bounded by the Glashaboy River to the West and the R616 to the East. The river has a weir across it and care should be taken particularly in this vicinity. A cliff overhangs the river. The height varies - it is about 10 meters at its highest point.

A flat leveled area located to the right of the gate as you enter, serves as a car park. It is covered with a hard core of red sandstone on which ordinary vehicle can drive easily. It can get somewhat muddy at times and wearing boots or Wellingtons might be advisable.

Track-ways can get somewhat muddy at times and you should be aware of slippery areas and uneven ground.
