The two maps illustrate how the layout of Beechwood Farm has changed between 1950 and the present day.
Overall, the farm has been transformed from a purely agricultural area into a more commercial and tourism-oriented site, with several modern facilities such as holiday cottages, a farm shop, and a camping field.
In 1950, the farm mainly consisted of agricultural zones: fruit trees, soft fruits, and vegetable fields took up most of the space. The farmhouse, barn, and a small chicken area were located in the southeast, while sheep occupied the entire northeastern region.
Today, the farmland for fruits and vegetables remains unchanged, but the sheep field has been replaced with solar panels and a large camping area. Roads have been built over the former tracks, providing access to new features like parking areas and holiday cottages. A farm shop has been added in the top-left corner, replacing part of the fruit orchard.
In summary, Beechwood Farm has evolved from a working agricultural site to a more diversified location focused on tourism, commerce, and sustainability.
