Visit to the Hay meadows at Box Bush Farm, Capel y ffin

Join WVW for a visit to a member’s stunning Hay meadows at Box Bush Farm, Capel y ffin, in the Vale of Ewyas (the Llanthony Valley) Monmouthshire.

This is a 38 acre former hill farm, mostly unimproved grassland, species-rich and now managed for conservation through a mixed rewilding and traditional conservation approach. Box Bush Meadow, and 8 acre field designated an SSSI, borders the stream, the Nant Bwch – a tributary of the Afon Honddu.

Species recorded on the site include rare Wood Cranesbill as well as Betony, Bitter-vetch, Rough Hawkbit, Knapweed and Devil’s-bit Scabious, with Common Spotted-orchids, Tormentil, Bird’s-foot Trefoil and Pignut in the more open areas.

Please use the booking link here to book your place or email Louise if you have any problems with the booking system.
