Brithdir Mawr

Brithdir Mawr is an Intentional Community in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The name is Welsh for "Great Speckled Land".

The community is based on a 85-acre (0.34 km2) farm, home to 10 adults and 4 children, living in individual family flats around the farmyard. The aim of the community is to live an environmentally sustainable and ethical lifestyle. The land is farmed organically and the community is off-grid for supplies of water, electricty and fuelwood. People work both locally and onsite to manage the farm and earn a living.

Note: Brithdir Mawr Community is not home to The Roundhouse or Tir Ysbrydol. Many years ago, the farm was bigger, including the land which is now owned by the neighbours.

The community is often confused with these neighbours who are frequently cited in the media due to their planning battles to build low-impact roundhouses.

After many years of disputes with authorities, planning permission was granted for several of the houses built by the neighbours, one at "The Roundhouse" and several more at "Tir Ysbrydol" in September 2008.

The farm is situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
