TV presenter Kate Humble, known for her appearances on wildlife programmes such as Springwatch, Animal Park, and Autumnwatch, enjoys a serene life in Wales off the screen. At 55, Kate has been a prominent figure on British television for years, especially for her role in presenting wildlife series like BBC Springwatch. In addition to her TV work, she has authored two books: “Thinking on My Feet: The small joy of putting one foot in front of another” and “Home Cooked: Recipes from the Farm.”
When not in the spotlight, Kate resides in Trellech, Monmouthshire, with her husband, TV producer Ludo Graham, and their dogs. The couple, who previously lived in Chiswick, West London, made the move to Wales in 2007 after Ludo received a job offer in Cardiff. Despite lacking family connections to Wales, Kate admitted her long-standing desire to live there.
Nestled in the heart of the Wye Valley, Kate’s farm in Monmouthshire, part of Humble by Nature working farm and rural skills center, offers two accommodation options: a snug two-bedroom cottage or a studio flat. Trellech, overlooking the Wye Valley and adjacent to beautiful woodlands, is renowned for its Bronze Age history. The village features Harold’s Stones, a set of megalithic monuments, and the historic Lion Inn pub dating back to 1580.
Trellech’s picturesque setting and rich heritage make it a sought-after place to live. According to Rightmove, the average property price in Trellech over the past year was £655,300. Detached properties sold for an average of £755,375, while semi-detached properties fetched £255,000 on average. Prices in Trellech have seen a significant increase, rising by 33% compared to the previous year and now 24% higher than the 2020 peak of £528,990.
