Location
We
are in an ancient meander of the valley of the River Wye.
Since the last ice age 16,000 years ago both the Severn and
Wye rivers started flowing south as a result of being dammed
by retreatring ice, forming the now extinct Lake Lapworth
in Cheshire. This acted as a watershed and made the two rivers
find alternative routes south, causing the river to cut various
courses as it chiselled its way down through the limestone
and quartz conglomerate rocks.
The
farm is situated on the B4231, 1.5 miles east of Redbrook,
3 miles south of Monmouth offthe A466 Chepstow to Monmouth
road, and 1/4 mile north of the village of Newland, which
straddles the B4231. Both Monmouth and Coleford are within
about ten minutes drive.
