Blackhorse Road Community Orchard and Nature area is a wonderful space that follows the Leap Valley up until Wallis Field and Blackhorse Road
This area consists of a range of habitats as well as a community orchard which can join up with Leap Valley creating a wonderful wildlife corridor and a substantial area that needs to be managed.
