Tickenham geography / climate

There are several fruit farms and orchards in the village, some operating commercially and some in the gardens of private houses. The south-facing slopes on the north side of the B3130 make this a good area for horticulture. The ridge previously supported small-scale commercial limestone quarries, evidence of which remains.
