Description
A rare opportunity to buy a large tract of land in the beautiful Upper Dulais Valley.
The land extends to approximately 277 acres (112 hectares) sitting in one ring fenced block either side of a shallow upland ridge rising up towards Mynydd Y Drum. The land is a mixture of a gently sloping central southern band of improved high lying pasture land falling away on its eastern flank to steeper less improved slopes with some gently sloping western parts lying damp. A large area of open rough grazing is present to the north with approximately 50 acres registered as common land. The land rises gently from 150 metres above sea level at its eastern and western flanks to 250 metres above sea level on its northern boundary tip. The land is approached from a shared stone trackway which passes through the centre of the land through rough grazing parts and then rising to link to cleaner pasture to reach the ruins of Henllan Uchaf farmstead reputed to be once an early religious site.
The land is currently used for conventional low input sheep and beef cattle grazing with the less improved land possessing a diverse and rich amount of wildlife, fauna and flora in this upland landscape. Some of the level damp natured enclosures grow unimproved marshy grassland over areas of blanket bog. Some of the sloping eastern enclosures hold dry grassland banks with sparcely populated small pioneer trees.
Situation
The land is situated approximately 6 miles north of Neath and 2 miles south of Ystradgynlais overlooking the Dulais valley. The land is accessible from a stone track which links to the council road between Ystradgynlais and Crynant. A location plan is enclosed with these particulars.
