Tipi Valley is situated high in the hills of South-West Wales. Our community has been buying it field by field since 1976. In this time our oldest fields have regenerated from sheep farming land to mixed deciduous woodland rich in wildlife. It’s a wild valley dotted with our homes that are low impact dwellings – tipis, yurts and turf roofed round huts.
Living this close to nature and the elements creates a deep connection with the land. We express this in our lives through creative work on our shelters and gardens and get-togethers in our communal tipi, known as the big lodge, where we gather for music and song.
Over the years we have had over 130 home births and our children are either home educated or go to the local bilingual schools.
