Description
Old Wood is a diverse property in a larger gated forest in the heart of the Vale of Clwyd. This pastoral landscape affords delightful vistas across rolling farmland to the higher hills on either side of the valley.
Old Wood is part of a medal-winning forest noted for its silviculture, and this can be clearly seen in the excellent quality of the mature and maturing stems which are the product of many years careful management. It lies on gentle southeast-facing slopes atop fertile base rich soils, and is host to a wide variety of species, making it a robust proposition in the face of climate uncertainty.
Scattered throughout the wood are a variety of mature canopy stems including sweet chestnut, oak and ash - some of notable dimensions. There is also a wide range of younger maturing trees across the site including oak, sycamore, ash, cherry and elm plus a few Sitka spruce and a small stand of Lawson’s cypress on the top edge.
The under-storey supports a vigorous cohort of younger stems naturally regenerating from the parent trees. These stems will quickly occupy any space afforded if mature stems are felled, reducing the need for costly restocking. Among the young trees there is also a healthy shrub layer of holly, hazel, elder and hawthorn. The abundant ground flora includes bluebells, dog’s mercury, wood rush, wood anemone, wild garlic and a variety of ferns. Not surprisingly this habitat supports an equally rich fauna including badgers, foxes, bats and buzzards plus a plethora of woodland birds which are encouraged by the large number of nesting boxes in the wood.
Internal access is excellent with a well found hard track running along the top west side (fenced on either side for privacy). There are also full access rights over the hard track on the east side including a private spur within Old Wood for parking a vehicle. External links are also good thanks to the proximity of the A525, whilst the A55 trunk road is just 25 minutes to the north.
Old Wood affords excellent amenity prospects, and thanks to its diverse structure there is also plenty to keep an enthusiastic woodsman well occupied.
