Ashley's Meadow consists of 14 acres of private woodland which is full of charming gnarly trees and is rich with an abundance of wildlife, in the beautiful picturesque Forest of Dean.
The land and woodland has an accessible path with naturally created benches for secluded seating. Pausing for a moment you can get captured with the ambience of the place. It is a wonderland.
We rescued some wild welsh mountain ponies in the first Covid 19 lockdown called Peaches and Emmaline. They are unbroken so can’t be ridden yet but they love an ear scratch and a carrot. We rescued some kittens and in the 2nd lockdown we picked up Tux and Oreo. We have sheep which have been hand reared called Bailey, Buttons and Blanket, they are very people friendly and will come and sit with you (supervised by us) in their field and love a cuddle.
Our new additions are kunekune pigs called Eric and Ernie, they are super friendly and love a belly rub.
The two bell tents are in an enclosed field with a picnic seating area, a climbing frame and slide, and a 14ft trampoline. It is also a ideal place to bring your family dog so they can have a good run-around.
We have so many plans for the future but can assure you that the experiences at Ashley's Meadow and Swift and Swallow will be amazing.
