White Close

White Close is a conservation area for the quiet enjoyment of all and is located on the left-hand side of Prospect Hill as you ascend out of the village. Look out for the small, entrance if on foot. You can access by car but will need to approach the entrance downhill into the village.

White Close was purchased by the Parish Council for the Parish and is placed in trust and managed by the White Close Trustees and supported by Friends of White Close – read more on this below and in the attached leaflet.

The field is lovely and peaceful to walk around amongst the trees but hilly in places and stout footwear is advised, Enjoy the stunning views across the village and out to Start Bay from the picnic tables and benches at the top. There is plenty of wildlife, birds and birdsong, a newly planted small orchard and is home to ‘bugmoral’ a very large bug house which is worthy of a visit in its own right. Bugmoral is based on Balmoral and was built by community volunteers to mark the Queens Jubilee and Big Green Week.
