Description
Pasture Wood is part of a swathe of mature estate woodlands that recently won a gold medal for forest management at the Royal Welsh Show. The majestic mature ash stems bear testimony to this as do the well-established emerging hardwoods including cherry, ash and sycamore.
Pasture Wood has fertile lime-rich soils on a gentle north-facing slope and the consequent vigorous tree growth is clear to see. The mature widely spread canopy ash are of excellent form and the product of many years of careful management. These stems appear wind-firm but if the decision to harvest is taken, the under-storey promises a vigorous successional crop without the need for expensive restocking.
Aside from large ash the property has occasional mature sycamore and elm. Below these stems there is mixed cohort of younger species between five and twenty years old, including cherry, ash, and sycamore along with occasional shrubs such as hazel and holly. In spring the woodland floor is coloured by bluebells and there is a variety of other woodland associates including dog’s mercury, wood anemone and a variety of ferns.
The wider woodland supports a broad fauna of badgers, foxes, bats, buzzards and a wide range of woodland songbirds, whilst the extensive field boundary to the north offers a series of gorgeous views over the Vale of Clwyd.
This woodland has the benefit of an excellent hard track running from the gate to a large parking area which is for the exclusive use of the property.
This compact property will appeal to those with an eye for well-managed woodland in a beautiful location and the prospect of small-scale harvesting if desired.

Directions & Access
Leave the A55 at St Asaph and head south on the A525. After Denbigh continue on this road for a further 4½ miles to the small village of Rhewl. Just before the village take the first right after the 40 MPH sign (immediately before a stone cottage and before crossing the bridge), via a concrete apron (A) onto a stone track that runs up the hill between avenue trees.
Continue uphill between fields for 350 metres and then into the wood at the top. Continue a further 200 metres through the wood and park in the large hard-standing area to the right (B) just before the track re-enters fields.
Take the right hand of the two gates into the wood and walk about 300 metres along the recently upgraded stone track until you come to a large lay-by on your right (C), after which Pasture Wood is on your right.
