Description
We bought the castle 4 years ago and have worked tirelessly since then restoring it to its previous glory using our own skills as well as local artisans. We are now ready to move outside with the aim of making the grounds as fabulous as the house. We need help with clearing, re building stone walls, working in the organic veg garden and orchard and planting.
We have an old Roman way that once cleared will be a really magical place.
