Description

Llechfa Dwyfach nestles in a gloriously secluded location on the west bank of Afon Dwyfach about 2 miles in from the coastal sweep of Cardigan Bay. The south Llyn coast stretches off to the southwest, whilst Snowdonia National Park is three miles to the east. The resort town of Criccieth is four miles by road and Caernarfon is just half an hour to the north. Outdoor recreation of every description is on the doorstep.

Sandwiched between field and river, the wood is almost entirely fringed with mature hardwoods - principally ash and oak, along with lesser elements of sycamore and alder. The heart of the larger northern portion was felled of its previous crop about 15 years ago and is now populated with a robust variety of regenerated hardwoods including ash, sweet chestnut, oak, rowan and willow. The southern part still supports some mature conifers (principally Sitka spruce) in mixture with a variety of broadleaves and shrubs.

The wood is designated as a Plantation on an Ancient Woodland Site confirming over four centuries of woodland cover. This is reflected in the wide variety of ground flora present beneath the shrub layer.

Aside from extensive frontage to the river, the wood also has a pond which is overgrown but with some work could be opened up to the benefit of many species, both aqueous and avian. With a variety of habitats, a diverse age range and wide variety of trees, the conservation and sporting potential of this wood is clearly evident.

The gentle sound of rippling water is an ever-present backdrop and visitors will quickly appreciate the tranquillity of this isolated haven which has almost all the amenity attributes you could wish for.

If It Were Mine

I’ve seldom seen a wood with such potential. I’d remove the invasive laurel near the entrance and then look at clearing the pond. Cutting paths through the undergrowth and along the riverside would improve access across the wood and I’d be tempted to create a small river-side clearing as a locus for quiet enjoyment. The younger regenerating stems need respacing and in the longer term a 4x4 track cutting up-slope would facilitate management as these stands mature. You will not run out of things to do here!
