Discover Fair Oak: Nature, Trails and Art
Accommodation in Fair Oak
Fair Oak combines green open spaces, public art and peaceful places for reflection with opportunities to spend the day actively. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can consider the village as a starting point for different travel ideas: a walk through the park, an art walking tour, time in the countryside or an excursion to other named trail areas.
Park, Café and Art in the Village
A central starting point is New Century Park in Fair Oak. It has a playground, a trim trail and an area for strength training. Families can therefore incorporate different forms of exercise into their daily plans, while the park is also suitable for a more unstructured break. The Fountain Café has its permanent location in New Century Park.
The community's public art walking tour begins at Fair Oak Square. It leads through Stoke Park Woods to a lychgate and carved benches depicting a magpie and a fox. The tour combines exercise with a closer look at designed details in the outdoor environment. For families with different interests, this can be a varied way to experience Fair Oak and its surroundings through art, trails and landscape. In addition, the church of St Thomas provides a place for quiet prayer and reflection; it is also used at various times for services and other activities.
Orchard, Woodland and Trails
Lapstone Farm includes a community orchard with 50 apple, pear and damson trees, a community woodland area with oak, ash and crab apple trees, as well as wildflower meadows. A boardwalk connects the farm grounds with the Lapstone playing fields.
Stoke Park Woods has extensive trails for walking and cycling. Public footpaths have been created in the Knowle Hill Conservation Area so that the community can enjoy the area without harming the natural habitat. Anyone looking for holiday accommodation in Fair Oak should therefore first decide whether the focus should be on the village's facilities, on art and park experiences, or on longer nature and cycling activities. The project to improve walking and cycling in Fair Oak also includes two new bus stops to support the use of public transport.
