Description
The property is an interesting mixture of native mixed broadleaves and productive commercial conifers including Douglas fir, Sitka and Norway spruce. The woodland occupies both sides of a valley leading to the Afon Cych, a tributary of the larger Afon Tefi that flows through the town of Cenarth. The woodland rises from 30m ASL in the valley floor to approximately 85m ASL on the upper fringes. The site is well-suited to growing a range of conifers and, as such, both the Sitka spruce and Douglas fir will produce fine timber crops. The Douglas fir and mid-rotation Sitka spruce will provide income in the coming decades. Parts of the woodland are designated as Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) and Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW). There is significant opportunity to restore the woodland to a pure native mixture or carry on managing it in a more commercial capacity given the optimal growing conditions.
The western part of the woodland, locally knows as Rookery Wood, has been partially restructured and is now a 5Ha mixture of native broadleaves and improved Sitka spruce, planted in 2019. The spruce is showing some impressive growth rates, putting on over 1.2m in a single season. A pond at this end of the woodland is fed by a spring 500m to the south-west. This will provide opportunities for fishing, wildfowling and nature conservation.
