A very healthy forest of mainly conifers in a stunning location in the Berwyn Mountain range of North Wales. Planted in 1988, the trees have grown well and most of the areas are now at the stage where a thinning could be taken should a new owner wish to. An alternative management option would be to grow-on the crop without thinning for an earlier clearfell date. The species are mainly spruce and larch with areas of native and planted broadleaves (see plan below).

The disused quarry that you drive through to get to the forest is included in the sale. It consists of a medium sized disused quarry with a steep cliff face, and an adjoining flat area which previously was the location for the quarry workings and used for storing the quarry waste. There are the ruined remains of two small quarry buildings on this area.

This land further increases the uses that the forest could support, especially recreational activities. A report commissioned by Powys County Council highlights that the quarry land is suitable for recreational development and the local planning department have indicated that they would favourably consider a suitable application for recreational development.

The elevation ranges from 150 to 450 metres above mean sea level. The aspect is mainly northerly, with fantastic views over the surrounding hills (see photos above). The forest area is steep in places with a gently sloping plateau area at the top of the slope, which carries the best of the timber trees (Sitka spruce).

The good network of internal tracks could be easily upgraded to further improve the internal access. The forest has a good year-round stream running through it and there is a small pond that could easily be enlarged to make a much bigger feature.

A hard road (a steep in places) provides the woodland with excellent access in all conditions. At present it is better suited to 4x4 vehicles.

WARNING – please keep well away from the upper edges of the quarry. The quarry should only be approached from the lower access road (see plan below).

From the pub car park in the centre of Llangynog village head south east towards Welshpool, while you are still in the village you will drive over a tiny stone bridge, immediately on your right will be a small brick and stone built church, turn right just past this down a narrow road signed “parc 2½”.

About 200 metres up this road you need to turn left onto a stone surfaced track with our for sale sign on the corner. This is the point marked J on the plan. To get to the woodland you follow this up until you get to a small disused quarry. We suggest you park your car here.

These are owned and included in the sale.

The forest comes with the mineral rights (except where reserved by statute), but the mineral rights for the quarry have been reserved by the previous owner but with the exception that there is a right to use stone for the construction and maintenance of roads and walls both in the quarry and also in the forest.

There is a right of way up the track through the quarry in favour of the small cottage just inside the woodland gate.

There is a right of way over the woodland tracks for the benefit of the farmer who owns the land to the east of Coed Pengwern.

A footpath/bridleway crosses the lower quarry area.

There is a public footpath along most of the hard forest tracks.

There is a fencing liability for the woodland owner along the fencelines marked AB and CD on the plan.

Most of the boundaries of the property are agricultural fences. The exceptions are:

The roadside boundary XY which is not fenced.

The western boundary YZ of the flat quarry area which is indicated by wooden posts with blue painted tops.
