Farmland at Syston Park Farm The "big house" no longer exists, (it was demolished in 1923), but many of the landscape features are in evidence including a tree lined approach to the farmhouse. The large farm has diversified into pick-your-own fruit and has a successful and award winning farm shop and cafe.
