We are a family run business established in 1819 – based on the unique Somerset levels, growing and supplying willow and producing high quality handcrafted willow products ie. baskets, furniture, garden accessories, artists’ charcoal etc.
Our visitor centre has exhibitions, displays, a museum with unusual artefacts and walks onto the levels to experience the landscape and environment. Guided tours are also available to see first hand, from withy bed to basket, this most traditional and unique Somerset industry and craft.
