I know I was extremely lucky to grow up where I did, it’s a little bit like living in ‘The Lord of Rings – The Shire’. Rolling mountains, a river to play in, waterfalls to jump off, the sea an hour away, hundreds of miles of hacking where you don’t see a soul.
So every time I go back it feels like it makes my very bones happy, I love the views, the familiar hacking routes and best of all having my horses on the doorstep so I can literally roll out of bed and look out the window to see them.
So here’s a little tour of my childhood home and one of my favourite hacking routes! (*NOTE: I went to Wales prior to the recent restrictions and current lockdown announcement*)
