Description

Shellbrook Pasture is located down a quiet lane right on the border between England and Wales. It has two good access gates directly off a council road. The stream that forms the eastern boundary is actually the border between England and Wales, it is fast flowing and runs all year round.

The pasture is a permanent ley and has recently had a weed control operation to improve its productivity. The land faces east and slopes down to the stream. One old hedge line divides a smaller paddock towards the road but most of the pasture is one large field dotted with hawthorn bushes.

Along the banks of the stream (Shell Brook) there are some large mature trees and two small areas of mature poplars. Mains water supplies three drinking troughs spaced out across the area.

From the top of the pasture there are magnificent views and a great place to sit and enjoy the total peace and tranquillity of this remote yet easily accessed property. A couple of flat areas are hidden away at the top of the land and would make wonderful camping sites for family retreats.

The land is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in recognition of the wild flower content of the pasture. See link below.

If It Were Mine

I would continue to cut the few weeds (mainly nettles and thistles) to ensure the grass dominance in the pasture. I would graze the land with livestock of my choice and spend the summer weekends camping in the ideal flat areas at the top of the land.
