Abbey Wood, St Clears, Carmarthenshire 5.28 acres (approx) of Oak woodland for £29,950 [#254]

Abbey Wood is a woodland of predominantly late rotation maturing Sessile Oak. The trees are likely to be between 50 and 80 years old and are growing well in the well drained fine loamy soils over Palaeozoic mudstone. Other trees growing in this woodland include Sycamore and Birch, with an understorey of Holly and Hazel. Ground vegetation includes Bilberry, Lady ferns (Welsh ferns), Harts Tongue ferns, Hard fern and Bluebells.

This woodland is classified as ‘Ancient Woodland’, which is a designation that is used for woodland where there is evidence of forest cover continuously since the year 1600. The woodland is a perfect wildlife haven. The native species and long term woodland cover have allowed the complex habitat networks to develop. You will have the pleasure of discovering the multitude of woodland birds and mammals that you would expect in an ancient woodland.

The land lies at 50 metres above sea level and is generally west facing, with slopes ranging from steep to gentle. Access is very good. From the A40 trunk road you drive you drive along a quiet country road, through a locked woodland gate and then up the hard surfaced forest track up to the southern boundary. A good grassy track continues into Abbey Wood along the length of the western boundary.

The attractive view from the woodland is across the fields to the west with the Afon Gronw river lying in the bottom of the valley.

Heading west from St Clears on the A40, take the third exit from the first Whitland roundabout.

Turn left immediately down the narrow road signed for Whitland Abbey.

After about ½ mile you will see a large yellow ‘No Trespassers’ sign on your right hand side. Please park your car here without blocking the gateway.

Climb the gate and continue up the hard forest track for about 600 metres until you see a wooden post on your left hand side with a red painted top. This is point B on the plan below, and Abbey Wood is in front of you.
