Wern-y-Cwm Farm is a huge historic farmstead dating from the 16th century. It was the home of Captain Thomas James, who sailed to discover the North West Passage in the reign of King Charles I, funded by the Bristol Society of Merchant Venturers. It remains a private home but has been converted into a cluster of well spread out holiday lets, a sporting or business retreat centre with private gardens and houses set around the cathedral sized barn. The 30 acres of stunning farmland are bordering the Skirrid Mountain National Park, with fields and hedgerows teaming with wildflowers and wildlife.
The properties may be rented individually for private family or friends get-togethers or in any combination for a larger sporting or business retreat or celebration week end. The image descriptions will explain which property is which.
