Charles from Woodland Farm's guide to the best things to do in South Wales

After 30 years as a solicitor, Charles Horsfield made the most obvious career move. He became a ceramicist, and host to glamping guests, naturally. Now he invites city folk out to their farm to live a little slower, a little more intentionally, and with a lot more calm.
