Although tree cover is limited here, the small copse along the stream contains a nice mix of broadleaf including what appear to be one or two large healthy ash, some oak, hawthorn, holly, birch and a rowan or two.

There is a small stand of larch in the south western corner of the land which adds nice variety to the species present here.

Along the lane at the southern end of the meadow there is a line of over stood hazel coppice. Great opportunity here to convert to hedgerow, by laying the existing hazel and gapping in with some new hedging plants to create more wildlife friendly habitat, and although it's hardly needed here, more privacy and screening from the lane.

Water vole and otter populate the nearby River Monnow and the mixed habitats of open meadow, hedgerows and wooded copses provide a great diversity of environment for wildlife.

Stunning open views.

Characterful stream and waterfalls.

Open meadow and copse of broadleaf and larch.

Great pub in walking distance!

Access is excellent, directly off a very quiet lane which ends in a dead-end just beyond the meadow.

There are no public footpaths running through Black Hill Meadow.

Fabulous potential here to plant more trees to create a larger broadleaf woodland with opportunity to lay the overstood hazel coppice along the lane to create hedgerow.

A very extensive footpath network is easily accessed from the woodland, including the Cat's Back circular walk which gives some of the most stunning views and ends at the Bull's Head pub., dog friendly with very good locally sourced food, and rooms available if you're too exhausted to walk back to the meadow.

The River Monnow, has some very good trout fishing and is being brought back to full health by the hard work and dedication of the Monnow Rivers Association, open to new members !

The meadow lies just to the east of The Black Mountains, the range of hills which form the most easterly section of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Between the meadow and the peaks runs The Offa’s Dyke Path, a public footpath which spans nearly 200 miles between Liverpool and the Severn Estuary. The footpath broadly follows Offa’s Dyke, a linear earthwork and scheduled monument which dates back to the early middle ages, initially built to delineate the border between Anglian Mercia and The Welsh Kingdom of Powys.

The meadow is also just a short drive away from Hay-on-Wye, the location of one the world’s most famous literary festivals.
