Allotments

The Town Council lease and manage the Orrest Drive allotments site, providing 14 allotments in central Windermere - the first re-introduction of allotments, since public allotment provision was lost during the last century.

The allotments were set up with funding obtained from the National Lottery and are much needed - there is a very large demand for allotments locally. The Town Council is always on the look-out for more potential sites and is committed to helping local people to grow their own food, wherever possible.

Last Year's Potato crop was a particularly good one:
