About Hafotty Ganol

Immediately adjacent to Hafotty Ganol is the open access “Dolydd Gobaith” or “Meadows of Hope” – a heritage project helping to restore precious upland habitat at the head of the Tanat valley. Still a productive landscape in keeping with farming traditions, but in transition to a haven for wildlife and a place where people and nature can come together to explore, learn, and enjoy.

These pastures will be allowed a chance to regenerate, helping the seed bank within them re-populate the surrounding farmed landscape with long dormant wildlife. Widening existing hedgerows, adding new wooded areas whilst maintaining ancient pasture with regenerative grazing all contribute to this aim.
There are orchards, with heritage species, and grazing management to favour wildflowers and fungi. You will encounter a variety of habitats – wetland, steep pasture, woodland, grove, clearing and meadow. Some areas are wild natural regrowth, some planted, some productive, managed and grazed. It is there to be explored. Enjoy stunning views, a choice of invigorating walks, and the fresh green landscape of the Tanat valley.
