Ant hill meadow
Chris Packham visits a special meadow, covered in bumps. Each bump is an ant hill - it's an ant hill meadow. Gilfach is one of the best places in the UK to see such a meadow. The reason it is here is that the meadow has never been ploughed, so the anthills can last for hundreds of years. Chris finds one big enough to sit on.
