Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is a friendly, with 10 homes on a cul-de-sac country road with 10 houses, many with children. All the families know each other and have casual parties and bonfires. The neighbourhood is a 7 minute walk into the village of Wakefield and we have a dock down at the bottom of the road where our Lewis Road families all swim in the river in summer months. There are trails in the forest directly behind our house, and neighbours will be happy to show you the trails.
