The combination of overspill parking for visitors and intensive use for country fairs had caused significant damage to the natural grass verges bordering the driveway to the Grade 1 listed stately home. By laying GRASSCRETE to each side of the driveway, these areas have now, for over 15 years, provided hard parking for both cars and steam engines. Yet when not in use, it has been naturally grazed by its natural residents – the estate farms sheep. |
