Waterside Valley:

Purchased in July 2021 by Westfield Parish Council with the overall vision to enhance the land as public open space, retaining the wildlife value and natural aspect of the site. It is a space where people of Westfield and surrounding areas can enjoy the nature, the views, and the sense of history and of peace which permeates this ground.
