During your stay you are welcome to explore the fields and woodland, with the river Dulas as a part of our boundary. In the spring there are blue bells in the woods, spring flowers in the hedgerows and lambs in the fields. Summer brings the swallows and small fish in the river. Autumn sets alight the countryside views as the leaves change colour. The cold fresh air of winter makes snuggling up by the wood burner more enticing. We share the farm with our sheep, dogs, cats, a pony called Max and sometimes some cattle. Wildlife is abunant, there is a diverse birdlife, including kites, buzzards, and owls, foxes and badgers have been seen on the farm, and wild deer on the roads nearby. From the shepherds hut, you can see Penyfan to the east and in the south west the dome at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. The first International Dark-Sky reserve in Wales is situated in the Brecon Beacons, but on a clear night the sky here is just as spectacular.
