Since 2020 we have helped to maintain two Cadw* fields, within the scheduled monument, into species rich meadows and associated environments.

We engage with the community of Caerwent to develop and maintain the areas, so they can be enjoyed by all.

We are going to be sowing some wild flower seeds in the Basilica field, around the benches, on Sunday 8th November at 2.30 to 4pm.
Come along and join us if you can.
You'll need to wear clothes and footwear suitable for gardening and bring a rake if you have one.

The seeds are a mixture of annuals and perennials, which will hopefully bring some colour to the meadows next spring/summer.

Here is a map showing the approximate areas where the Goats will be situated. They will start in one area then be moved to the other area. We are not sure which one will be first, but you will be able to check by scanning the QR code on the gate signs OR visiting the web page https://grazingmap.nofence.no/ where you can put in your location and it will show you the live map and the location of the goats.
An example of this is also shown below, this is from Llanmelin Hill Fort, where the goats have been for a couple of months.

Tomorrow (Tuesday 3rd November) there will be a herd of goats grazing in two areas of Caerwent Meadows.
The following was from Caerwent Community Council's post:

- :A message for those who walk in Caerwent Meadows.

From next week a herd of goats will be clearing undergrowth in the Basilica fields. They will be held within a geo-fence.

There will be signs to warn you of their presence.

Dogs should be kept on leads. A QR code on the sign will lead you to a live map showing where the goats are grazing.

This will help you plan your walk if you wish to avoid them, or help you find them if you wish to visit them.

Please don't feed the goats.

Caerwent Meadows and CADW with support from the Community Council have been planning this conservation grazing project for some time. The goats will be monitored daily by a group of trained volunteers during their stay.

Plans have been made for a "Meet the Goats Day' next week.(date to follow).

At the moment the goats are grazing the Llanmelin Hill Fort. We anticipate they will be moved to Caerwent on Tuesday and Wednesday next week."

**please note...the goats will only be in the Basilica field and post office fields. If you want to avoid them, the Widow's field (adjacent to the Cadw carpark) will be goats free.

Today we installed another bench in the meadows. This one was funded by John in memory of his wife Siân.
It is in a beautiful spot in the Basilica field, and will have a wonderful view of the Oxeye Daisies when they flower in the spring.
Pictured above are Siân's mum Mo, in the middle, with some of our volunteers who helped with the installation.
