The Stunning Scenery

Worsell Woods - A short Walk away

The view of the Radnor Valley from Hergest Ridge 1 mile away

Just up the road you can find the impressive waterfall 'Water Breaks it's Neck' is situated in Warren Wood which is named after the rabbit warren which once provided a source of food and this part of Radnor Forest has seen huge changes over the centuries. The Victorian landowners created a forest in the popular Picturesque style by planting trees on the moorland.

You can see many of these trees, which are now huge, on the walking trails.

​

We have a family of Perigrine Falcons nesting near by. These incredible birds are known for their amazing speed and are completely captivating to watch. 

 

At night you can watch the bats swoop around you and hear the magical call of the owls.
