What is Fuller Farm & Wheeler Holly Preserve like?

Barnstable Land Trust's Fuller Farm in Marstons Mills offers about a mile of easy walking: a short woodland loop overlooking historic cranberry bogs, an open meadow trail, and the newer Holly Loop through the adjacent Wheeler Holly Preserve. The Wheeler loop navigates woodland, bog, and field with a bench view of Middle Pond. A restored 2024 barn anchors the working farm. Leashed dogs welcome.
