Fabulous organically grown apples at Monimail.
Leeks & beetroot. The ancient walled garden, resurrected and worked by the small community that have lived there for the last 30 odd years provides superb vegetables mindfully cultivated in a sustainable way. If you're a veggie, then you'll be in heaven.
Meanwhile Monimail Tower gets a face lift.
