Inside Kate Humble’s tranquil life in beautiful Welsh village where homes average £655k

TV presenter Kate Humble, known for her appearances on wildlife programmes like Springwatch, Animal Park, and Autumnwatch, enjoys a quiet life in Wales away from the cameras. At 55, Kate is a familiar face on British television, having hosted shows such as Rough Science, The Hottest Place On Earth, and The Spice Trail besides writing two books. Kate resides in the village of Trellech, Monmouthshire, with her husband Ludo Graham and their dogs after moving from Chiswick, West London, in 2007. Despite no previous ties to Wales, Kate disclosed her long-held desire to live there.

The couple’s charming stone farmhouse in the Wye Valley serves as both their residence and the base for their Humble by Nature working farm and rural skills centre. Trellech, overlooking the Wye Valley and surrounded by woodland, is known for its Bronze Age history, housing ancient monuments like Harold’s Stones and the historic Lion Inn pub. The village’s idyllic setting and rich heritage make it a sought-after location, with property prices averaging £655,300 over the past year, a 33 percent increase from the previous year.

Kate’s farm offers accommodation options like a cosy two-bedroom cottage or a studio flat for visitors to enjoy the stunning landscapes of the Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The picturesque village of Trellech, with its historic landmarks and beautiful surroundings, provides a tranquil setting for Kate Humble to unwind when she’s not busy filming wildlife documentaries.
