This is an image of mine, by Hindwell looking towards the Radnor Forest where the wind farms would be and the summer grazing I think (proving at the moment) of the Hutchinsons.

It was that summer he wrote that twilight poem, Hail twilight about the ‘rude Briton’ in his wolfskin

A few of the ancient sites around Hindwell

This is the map of the wind farms

As you can see, will also affect the Wye, that he said to George Venables, according to Francis Kilvert, was the most beautiful in Southern Britain

It’s the stretch of the Wye he walked with the man who inspired Peter Bell

It’s also just north of Llysewn where he, Dorothy and Coleridge stayed with Thelwall and were spied on; they stayed on the same trip as Tintern was written on - look at the Wordsworth Trust Welsh page

The lease shows that the farm grazed its sheep on the Radnor Forest where the windfarm is being built.

The lease for Hindwell and Four Stones 1809. This shows the right to graze the area of the windfarm

Second part of the lease

The signed final page

Tithe map 1834 shows that tenants of Lewis, landlord had grazing rights on Fron Hill
