Welcome

Walnut lodge is situated in the grounds of Browns Farm which is a working Beef/Arable farm, where we grow 300 acres of cereals.

Situated on the edge of Savernake Forest overlooking open-farmland, Walnut lodge offers peace and tranquillity for a true North Wiltshire holiday. Wild deer, muntjac and an abundance of bird species are all seen visiting the garden frequently.
