Part of the rocky dragon's back that runs inland from Roch across North Pembrokeshire, Plumstone Mountain is a dramatic jumble of rhyolite blocks that cries out to be climbed on. Thirty years ago the Open Spaces Society ( Britain's oldest national conservation body) won an access victory here over farmers who were unlawfully fencing-off common land... and it is known locally as a mountain, even though it's only 170m above sea level.

Apart from their potential for stinging humans and animals stinging nettles deserve to be promoted into the premiership league of super plants - nettles are the favourite food of many butterflies and are packed with nutritional benefits, Vitamins A, C and K and minerals including magnesium, iron and calcium. Clinical trials have proved the effectiveness of nettle root in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The wonders never cease - feeding less than 1% of dry nettle in chicken feed will colour egg yolks as effectively as synthetic pigments. Sent from my Blueberry ® mobile device
