Directions

darllen yn Gymraeg …

Getting here by car:

Denmark Farm is situated 4 miles from Lampeter in Ceredigion, mid Wales. (Grid Reference SN586537). If you are travelling from Lampeter on the A485, look out for our brown tourist sign and take the turning left (after a stone bridge). Continue for 2 miles and Denmark Farm is located on the left hand side (look out for reversing mirror on right hand side, opposite the end of our track).

Alternatively if coming from the North on the A485, in the hamlet of Betws Bledrws, take a right turn opposite the chapel and the telephone box. Drive up the hill and along the level road until you reach a T-junction. Take a right at this junction and Denmark Farm is located 30 metres on the left hand side.

Look out for the reversing mirror opposite our track and the wooden ‘Denmark Farm Conservation Centre’ sign which is just at the entrance of our track. Please be warned that Sat Nav often takes drivers a mile or two past our site so do take note of these directions.

We also have a range of ideas for encouraging wildlife to your garden, from nest boxes and a barrel pond in the wildlife garden, to butterfly and bee borders filled with fragrance and colour, to our own insect hotel (if bugs could award a prize for buildings, this would be a winner!)

There are also many other wildlife-friendly and sustainable features to discover.
