|
The Cottage of the Charcoal Burners was built about 300 years ago on the old parish road over the Blorenge to Blaenavon. Today Middle Ninfa Farm is reached by a steep winding tarmaced road from Llanfoist, crossing the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal which once served the iron works of Clydach Gorge and Pwll Ddu. The 23 acre farm lies in historic and beautiful landscape, within the Brecon Beacons National Park on the edge of the newly designated Blaenavon World Heritage Site. It is in excellent walking country and there are fine views over the Usk Valley of the Skirrid and rural Monmouthshire. The upper third of the land, which abuts the Woodland Trust owned Punchbowl, is being planted to broadleaf woodland. In May this is a sea of bluebells. There is also an acre of withy beds, orchards, vegetable garden, grazing for horses and sheep, ducks, bees and a tennis/croquet court. Middle Ninfa Farm supports local produce suppliers and fair trade outlets, which are plentiful in the county. LOCATION: OS Grid Ref SO285115 See Location for details of how to get here. |
