New Lane - Holgate - Allotments

Mattison Way, Holgate

An attractive, small site hidden away in Holgate, on Mattison Way. It is simply one double row of plots, either side of a wide grass pathway.

This site has experienced gardeners with a wealth of knowledge which they are willing to share. There are some great examples of good quality traditional allotment gardening here.

This site has an external boundary hedge and is overlooked by neighbouring houses, so there's no need for internal fences. This open character makes it easy to get to know your plot neighbours. There's no allotment association but tenants meet informally and organise occasional barbeques.
