Llanmerewig Glebe
Innocent, but deadly!
Within this small reserve of just 1 hectare, grows a highly poisonous, yet beautiful plant - Meadow saffron, also known as Autumn crocus. For centuries this delicate flower has been systematically eradicated in grazing areas because of its danger to animals, yet it does have healing powers and has been used to treat gout.
Directions to the reserve: Llanmerewig Glebe can be found at grid reference SO160930 in the small hamlet of Llanmerewog, near Abermule, 4 miles north east of Newtown off the A489.
