One of our most important farms for its conservation value, Berthlwyd is home to truly wonderful wildflower hay meadows.

Traditional farming methods mean that each spring the fields burst into an array of vivid colour and support a huge variety of wildlife. A precious and increasingly rare habitat, our semi-ancient woodlands are a haven for wildlife.

Clinging on at the foot of the Brecon Beacons, these trees have lived for hundreds of years and are home to rare fungi and invertebrates dependent on them for their survival. The tragic tale of a little boy who lost his way in the Brecon Beacons at the beginning of the last century, touched an entire community and continues to be passed down from generation to generation. This isolated yet beautiful upland farm sits at the top of the Nedd valley and has been home to the same family for six generations.

But the history of this wonderful place stretches back much further than you might imagine and is full of surprises, both historical and geological. The Brecon Beacons offer a spectacular landscape rich in natural beauty. Free from light and noise pollution it's the perfect respite from the chaos of modern life.
