If you've visited the Gower's southern coastline with its sandy beaches and rocky coves, you might not have realised that on its northern shores, the National Trust lands that include Burry Estuary are home to about 4000 acres of salt marsh . 

Here the lambs graze, spending most of their lives on these tidal marshes, feeding on grasses, samphire, sea lavender, sorrel and thrift. Their diet particularly rich in iodine is what gives them a special flavour and, even more markedly, a yielding texture that characteristically makes their meat 'cut like butter'. Salt marsh lamb, a true regional speciality, is finally becoming valued in Britain as it is in northern France.

Henrieta says

As one of judges of the Fine Farm Produce Awards, salt marsh lamb definately got  my 'thumbs up'. It delivered great length of flavour and that wonderful melt-in-the-mouth texture.
