Papple Steading is a collection of rural farm buildings built in 1860 by AJ Balfour. The gardens (maintained using natural and environmentally friendly methods) have a developing herbaceous collection, lawns, a very productive organic fruit patch, large informal beds and a small herb area. The paddock has meandering paths cut through tall grasses and wildflowers. The adjoining Papple Wood is an ancient, largely deciduous woodland where a trail takes you past follies and sculptures set amongst native trees. A short walk from the Steading is Papana Wood and Wildflower Meadow, possibly the largest meadow of its kind in the county. The Papana Water flows alongside the meadow which was planted in 2020 with Scottish native wildflowers. In 2022 we planted a forest garden in the grounds; this is gradually becoming a wild foraging paradise!
Directions: From the A199 at East Linton, follow signs to Traprain and Whittingehame, signposted to Papple, 1.5 miles. What3words: formation:painted:honest
