About the event site

The haymeadows at Pentwyn Farm (12 hectares) are among the largest remaining in Monmouthshire. They host over eighty species of wildflowers and grasses: from bright lemon-yellow Cowslips and striking Green-winged Orchids in May, to the eruption of Yellow Rattle, Milkwort, Eyebright, Meadow Vetchlings and trefoils attracting a huge variety of birds, butterflies, bees, crickets and moths in the summer months.

Since acquiring neighbouring Wyeswood Common (42 hectares) in 2007, we've been realising our vision of restoring this former intensive dairy farm into a mosaic of wildlife-rich habitats.

Our year-round restoration works involve 'conservation grazing' livestock, hedge-laying, tree-planting and green hay spreading from Pentwyn meadows alongside nature's own processes of regeneration.
