The natural burial ground at Usk is an enclosed meadow lying on either side of a small stream that runs through its centre. Surrounded by mature trees on three sides, the meadow frames scenic horizons across the Usk Valley towards Twmbarlwm in the west and Wentwood in the south. The landowner, Rosie Humphreys, lives in Usk and has farmed Little Castle Farm since 1991; it adjoins the land owned by her husband Henry. Usk Castle Chase natural burial ground was the first of the Leedam burial grounds to be opened and has been open since 2005. The burial ground offers full burial or ashes interments, with the option for families to dedicate an oak memorial plaque in the roof of the memorial shelter.
