Description

Coed Barthau is part of a swathe of medal-winning estate woodlands. Elegant mature ash and mixed hardwoods bear testimony to this as does the vigorous under-storey of emerging hardwoods.

Coed Barthau has fertile lime-rich soils and the consequent vigorous tree growth is clear to see. The mature widely-spread canopy ash stems are of excellent form and the product of many years of careful management. Within the ash are a variety of other quality hardwoods including elm, cherry, beech and sycamore.

The mature stems appear wind-firm but if the decision is taken to harvest, the under-storey promises a vigorous successional crop of mixed species which, with suitable management, should obviate the need for expensive restocking. The sub-canopy also supports a variety of shrubs including hazel, hawthorn and holly. In spring the woodland floor is coloured by bluebells and there is a range of other woodland associates including dog’s mercury, wood rush, wood anemone and a variety of ferns.

At the west end of the wood there is a more open glade which could be developed as a locus for quiet recreation, or allowed to naturally develop as young woodland. Elsewhere the wood is fully stocked with canopy trees on land with a northerly aspect. At the east end of the wood is a length of hard track affording private ‘in-wood’ parking, and a short spur off this offers an ideal place for siting a caravan if desired. 

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 attractive property amidst beautiful scenery will have broad appeal, but especially perhaps to those with an eye for silviculture and the enjoyment of a well-managed wood.

If It Were Mine

Where to start? The occasional harvesting of a prime hardwood stem might be irresistible. The younger trees would benefit from re-spacing and I’d seek to progressively eradicate sycamore from the mix. Cherry grow well here so I’d also look to find the odd patch in which to plant some. Time for quiet contemplation and gazing at the views would also feature!

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
