Fairmead
Fairmead is grazed by our conservation herd of longhorn cattle in April, August, November and December. If you see our cows while in the area, please remember they are livestock and not pets, keep your distance, and keep dogs on leads around them.
Fairmead is a sprawling, ancient grassland area between Chingford and High Beach, perfect for family outings and with lots of varied wildlife
