Site locations © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. Postcode lookup by postcodes.io using ONS and Ordnance Survey data. Distances are straight-line. Some sites are private or association-run, and a mapped site does not mean plots are free; check with the council or site association before visiting. Missing a site? Add it to OpenStreetMap.
Find your nearest sites
Most allotments are run by the local council or a parish or town council. Some are managed by a site association or a private landlord.
Join the waiting list
In England and Wales, apply through GOV.UK or your council's website. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, contact your council directly. Waiting lists vary widely, so it is worth joining more than one.
