Event Description
Appleby Cottage CiC would like to welcome you to our 3 acre smallholding in the outskirts of Waltham Cross.
We work alongside adults with disabilities using traditional methods to keep the smallholding running. You will be able to see how we spin and weave our sheep's wool using a traditional spinning wheel. Watch our wood specialists working the pole lath and processing locally coppiced wood. Take part in a guided tour at 2pm to be introduced to our livestock.
