Sometimes we all like to visit an oasis of peace and calm for relaxation. Well, did you know that the village has a Community Meadow for all to enjoy?
The Community Meadow was opened by Milford on Sea Parish Council when hosting a village picnic on Saturday 22nd June 2019.
The meadow land was donated to Milford on Sea Parish Council as a legacy by the late Diane Gillespie, a generous Milford on Sea resident. She bequeathed the land on condition that it should remain an open space to the benefit of the community.
The Community Meadow has benches on which to sit as you enjoy the surroundings, and is accessed through a metal gate in a wall in All Saints’ churchyard.
A nice idea of a new place to discover and enjoy on bright summer days.

Volunteer Gardeners Needed for Community Meadow
The Community Meadow is looked after by a small enthusiastic group of local people, and they need more hands to ensure that their hard work does not fall into disrepair.
If you love spending some time outside amongst nature and would like to find out more, please contact Sue Crabb on milfordgardeners@gmail.com.

In December 2022 The Friends of Milford Meadow were pleased to report that a planning application by Bayview Developments to build a four-bedroom house close to the Community Meadow was refused.
