Church
Farm is situated in a quiet lane on the edge of St Briavels, perched
high on a limestone plateau overlooking the River Wye in the heart of
the ancient Forest of Dean. Skilfully and sensitively converted to a
very high standard from a Grade II listed, 16th century barn, Church
Farm Cottage stands opposite the main farmhouse and forms one side of
the courtyard of this attractive and ancient smallholding. There are
walks in all directions and visitors have direct access across the
owners' land through woodland onto local bridlepaths. The local area
offers a wide range of outdoor pursuits - cycling using the marked
trails in the Forest, canoeing at Monmouth & Symonds Yat, fishing
on the Wye - as well as an abundance of visitor attractions - Tintern
Abbey, the Forest of Dean Steam Railway, Symonds Yat, Clearwell Caves,
Puzzle Wood & Chepstow Castle. Within easy driving distance are
Hereford and Gloucester cathedrals, Bristol, the Cotswolds and the
Welsh Brecon Beacons. St Briavels itself has an ancient history -
once used as a centre for making cross-bows, it still boasts a Norman
church and a moated castle (100 yards or so from Church Farm), whose
grounds are open to the public. The village also has two pubs.
