'Grow your way to a five a day'! This seems to be the motto for more and more families in Cam. We currently have 5 sites in Cam, at Woodfield, West End, Upthorpe and Ashmead, and each site has varying sizes and numbers of plots. The price of an allotment is £25 per year for a full size plot and £14 for the smaller half plots.

More about the sites:

Ashmead 1

Ashmead 1 is a long established allotment set in beautiful countryside in the Cam Green area of Cam. One side runs adjacent to Ashmead Road, two sides border back gardens and the final side backs onto fields. This beautiful allotment site consists of nine allotments with two taps supplying mains water. It also has a noticeboard fitted that allow allotments holders to communicate with each other and Cam Parish Council.

Ashmead 2

Ashmead 2 allotment is further along the road from Ashmead 1 and is on the border between Cam and Coaley Parishes. This allotment site, although still cultivated by some dedicated allotment holders, is in need of restoration. It is set in stunning countryside with amazing views but has been beset with problems from poor soil, drainage and parking problems.

Plans are currently being produced to enable funding to be sourced. If you would like to be involved in this planning stage please contact The Clerk.
