Perhaps the prettiest walk in Fairfield, and very different depending on the season. Fairfield is bounded on three sides by the tree shelter belts. These were originally planted in the 1800’s, and contain some very mature native species of trees. The shelter belt has a footpath and a bridal way, separated by a now very […]
A more natural woodland area bounding the western edge of Fairfield village. The woodland is denser and goes back to the Green Lagoon. The footpath has been left more natural here, although an asphalt pathway was added in an area that became boggy in the winters. It has several horse styles along the length of […]
When the Urban Park (North) was redesigned in 2018, an area was specifically set aside in the style of a french village market, with hardcore standing for arts and craft stalls or food vendors.

There are some randomly planted trees. A footpath bounded by an avenue of trees to walk along. There is a play […]
The green is located on one of the routes around Fairfield, Bronte Avenue, and was originally only bounded by wooden posts and a grass verge. In order to stop the parking of cars on the grass verge, which became very muddy in the autumn and winter, a beech hedge was planted. Still only a couple […]
