Ty-Mawr has been running specialist courses in the traditional and ecological building since 1996 on the site of their head office on the shore of Llangorse Lake near Brecon. The restored training centre is based in a beautiful complex of Grade II* listed buildings, formerly a farmstead, in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Mid Wales. The refurbished Training Centre was opened on 22nd June 2009 by Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. The site is still the family home of the founders of Ty-Mawr, Nigel and Joyce Gervis and their children, and is an on-going restoration project.
In 1993 Nigel and Joyce Gervis, founders and directors of Tŷ-Mawr Lime, purchased Tŷ-Mawr, a run-down farm in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
We don’t know exactly when the current house at ‘Tŷ-Mawr’ was built, it has changed ownership, changed names, changed size and changed function, but what we do know is that some very influential people have owned it and lived here.
