The Old Sycamore Tree
Nestled deep within our fields, The Old Sycamore Tree stands as a graceful landmark and one of the farm’s most timeless photography locations. Once the heart of our summer Secret Garden, this peaceful spot transforms beautifully with the seasons. As winter settles in and the flowers fade, the tree takes center stage — its sculptural branches framed by soft meadows of resting grass and the quiet beauty of open sky.
From beneath its sweeping canopy, you’ll capture portraits that feel both serene and cinematic — the weathered barns and distant hedgerows offering a subtle backdrop to this poetic, natural setting. It’s a favorite for family portraits, engagement sessions, and winter storytelling shoots where simplicity and stillness speak loudest.
Each session is one hour and must be booked in advance. Upon arrival, check in at our farm shop where you’ll receive a wristband and be personally escorted to the tree to ensure your privacy while farm work continues nearby.
Flower and pumpkin picking are not permitted in this area.
