WHAT IS AN ALLOTMENT?

An allotment is an area of land, leased either from a private or local authority landlord, for the use of growing fruit, flowers and vegetables. An allotment is traditionally measured in (rods), an old measurement dating back to Anglo-Saxon times. 5 rods is accepted as a full plot and this is equivalent of 125 square metres or about the size of a tennis court.

The allotment located at Bullbeggars lane, Horsell, Woking, GU21 4SQ is owned by Woking Borough Council and it is classified as a statutory site with a 21 year lease starting in 2023 and protected by the Allotments Acts.

WHO WE ARE

Our site is located at Bullbeggars lane, Horsell, Woking, GU21 4SQ. The allotment site has approximately 110 small, medium and large plots. Access is gained through lockable gates located on the junction of Bullbeggars lane and Sythwood.
