Why Choose Fenns Meadow?
The feeling of wanting to be buried in an over crowded grave yard with hundreds of head stones is becoming less fashionable. More & more people are chosing to be buried in a peaceful woodland or meadow land, where the area is filled with nature and the birds fill the skies.
Fenns Meadow is part of Alkington Grange Farm, which has been farmed by the Blantern family for 3 generations.
Previously a thriving Dairy Farm, Alkington Grange has had to move and change with the times.
So it moved into food production, growing potatoes and corn.
Now that the farming community is turning greener in approach, we at Alkington Grange have been accepted in to the Environmental Higher Level Stewardship Scheme. as well as starting Fenns Meadow.
The landscape has changed dramatically this year with an orchard being planted with 36 fruit trees of local provenance, hedgerows have been reinstated and natural bird seed has been planted in the wilder areas of the farm to entice even more birdlife.
Alongside this, more trees are to be planted within the hedgrows and along the edges of some of the fields. These trees can be bought by plot owners.
Fenns Meadow itself sits within a pastureland of 10 acres.
The site is positioned on high ground, facing a North Westerly direction which is perfect for watching the beautiful sunsets that regularly occur.
The views from the site stretch across to
North Wales, Cheshire and Liverpool.
The Llangollen Canal borders
the western side of the farm and
it is only a couple of miles from
the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI's)
of Fenns Moss and Whixhall Moss.
The farmland is already abundant with wildlife, flora & fauna, from hares, bagders and foxes to hawks, buzzards, kestrals and barn owls. Other bird life is very extensive with yellow hammers, lapwings, corn buntings and sky larks flying freely over the land.

The Llangollen Canal.
The Llangollen canal leaves the Shropshire Union Canal just north of Nantwich and meanders through deserted Shropshire farmland to cross the border into Wales near Chirk.
Tha Llangollen Canal is probably the most beautiful canal in Britian and the most popular. It passes through a wide variety of scenery from isolated sheep pastures to ancient peat mossess and also passing through many small market towns, Whitchurch being one of them. For more details of the canal please follow the link below: www.canaljunction.com
