A note from the site themselves...

Nantcellan is the story of three generations of the Williams family re-joining to live and work together - utilising combined unique skills. Improving the ex-dairy pastureland and managing our local woodlands, we're hoping to create a better habitat for the native wildlife and plants. While of course providing grazing for our fantastic traditional working draft horses.

Our aim amongst all of this is to create a nature focused environment in which people can relax and learn.
