Aylesbury Vale Natural Burial Meadow

The natural burial meadow is a haven of peace and natural beauty. Wide open landscape with long views and big skies. A place of escape, away from it all...

Today is often called Blue Monday.
If it feels like just another day, that’s okay.
If it feels heavier, that’s okay too.

Both belong. Both pass.

On the shortest day of the year, the landscape feels still, grounded and full of quiet beauty.
The winter solstice reminds us that even in the dark, there is promise, light will soon return, day by day. 🌿✨

Grief is a journey that looks different for everyone.

This National Grief Awareness Week, we’re thinking about the people we’ve lost, and the many ways we continue to carry them with us.

You’re not alone. 🤍

Our Story

In 2012 Sally called us at Leedam Natural Burials on behalf of her mother Dorothy:

“We own a lovely field in rolling countryside with excellent views towards the Chiltern Hills in the middle of Buckinghamshire, which we feel would be an excellent site for a natural burial ground...”

Soon afterwards, I had the pleasure of meeting Sally and Dorothy at Meadle and after a meeting around the farmhouse kitchen table (and a lively introduction to the peacocks, dogs and cats), we visited ‘Long Furlong’ as the meadow is known, for the first time. I could immediately see why this spot had been chosen. The gently rising ground of the meadow has long-ranging views across the flatlands of Aylesbury Vale and fine views of the Chiltern escarpment. It had that special something that every natural burial ground needs. A sense of place; a reason to be there.

Dorothy Brock and her daughter Sally impressed me too. The land has been in their family for generations and they are, to use a farming term, hefted to the land. Straight-talking, no-nonsense, warm and enthusiastic, we shook hands that afternoon and began to make things happen.
