Wye Allotments
(Churchfield Way allotments)
Access
The allotments are between Churchfield Way and Bridge Street. Access is via a single-width gate from a footpath leading out of Churchfield Way. It is not possible to take cars onto the allotment site.
PLEASE NOTE: Wye has two sets of allotments; those owned by Ashford Borough Council, and two other sites of parish allotments. These are known as Beanfield and Churchfield. The Borough allotments are known (confusingly) as Churchfield Way - in the context of the Society they are often just referred to as 'Wye'

Please make sure you know which set of allotments you are considering. the ones shown here are the only Borough Council owned ones.

Wye currently has no allotment rep. If you have an allotment on the Wye site, you will be able to help the website compiler with more details. Please do contact us!
Soil and situation
Wye Churchfield Way site is on some of the best soil of all the sites - it is no accident that an agricultural college was set up nearby. Because of its situation in a gap in the chalk downs, the soil is naturally limy, but friable and easy to work. Some of the plots, especially those at the far end from the gate, are partly shaded at some times of the day.
Below is the plan of plots from the Council. Every effort will be made to keep it up to date but minor changes may occur over time. The entrance via the footpath from Churchfield Way is at the padlock symbol at the bottom right.
