About

Pentwyn Farm has survived virtually unchanged for centuries. One of the largest areas of flower-rich grassland remaining in Gwent, it provides an opportunity to see traditional hay meadows at their best.

Walking through these magnificent hay meadows is like stepping back in time to glimpse the countryside of Britain’s past. Intensive farming has resulted in the decline of hay meadows across much of the UK, but the traditional farming methods used at this site over the centuries have allowed an incredible diversity of wildflowers and grasses to thrive, with over 80 species recorded.
