David's Grove is a picturesque woodland located in Gloucestershire, England. Situated in the heart of the county, this woodland area covers approximately 100 acres and is known for its natural beauty and serene atmosphere.

The grove is predominantly composed of native deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and ash, which create a dense canopy overhead, providing shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife. The forest floor is covered with a lush carpet of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers, adding to the overall charm of the woodland.

David's Grove offers a tranquil escape for nature enthusiasts, providing numerous walking trails and paths that wind through the trees. The trails are well-maintained and suitable for all ages and abilities. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll, take in the sights and sounds of the forest, or engage in birdwatching and wildlife spotting.

The grove also boasts a small pond, which is home to various aquatic creatures, including frogs, newts, and dragonflies. This natural water feature adds to the biodiversity of the woodland and offers an opportunity for visitors to observe and appreciate the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

David's Grove is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, especially during the spring and summer months when the woodland is alive with vibrant colors and the air is filled with the sweet scent of blossoms. Whether seeking solitude or a family outing, this woodland gem provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Rear of the Argoed at Penallt A lovely Victorian country house above the Wye Valley, once owned by Robert Plant, lead singer of Led Zeppelin, who recorded some albums at nearby Rockfield Studios in the 1980's. 

It has since been owned by a branch of my family (a great grandfather in common) who prospered in a chain of sports shops and other business interests I believe.
