Llanerchaeron Wildlife 

Any time of year is great for visiting Llanerchaeron – in spring, flowers carpet the woods; in summer, the estate is full of song and colour. Autumn brings beautiful colours to the woods, while winter sees early birds nesting in unusual places.

Nature friendly farming at Llanerchaeron

200 years ago, Llanerchaeron in Ceredigion was farmed using traditional methods to manage the land, which supported a mixture of diverse crops, livestock and nature. Today, along with our tenant farmer and grazier we're borrowing from this approach to help nature thrive, heal climate harm and enable the land and farm to cope with the challenges of a changing climate and uncertain world.
