Description

Coed Heulog occupies a bright position on the south-side of a larger medal-winning wood overlooking the rich pastures of the Vale of Clwyd and the hills above. The site is fertile, level, well-drained and sheltered, providing near-perfect conditions for growing quality hardwoods. Vigorous twenty-year old broadleaves entering production phase bear testimony to the ideal site conditions.

The east end of the wood (near the access gate) is dominated by mature full-canopy oak - valuable stems rich in habitat. Elsewhere the wood is dominated by 20-25 year-old ash and cherry overshadowed by scattered mature sentinel ash with elegant clean stems. A smattering of maturing cherry across the wood completes the tree element. The younger stems are now at the point where they would benefit from a first thin which would yield a good volume of firewood as well as releasing the remaining crop which could then be further enhanced by some high-pruning.

The woodland floor is uncluttered with a light incidence of woody shrubs such as holly, hazel and elder, along with some naturally regenerating whips of ash, cherry and sycamore. It is also populated by a rich mix of native flora including dog’s mercury, ferns, bluebells, wild garlic and honeysuckle. Bramble though present is not so abundant as to hamper pedestrian access. The wood also supports a broad fauna including badgers, foxes, bats, buzzards and a wide range of woodland songbirds encouraged by a number of bird-boxes. The dawn chorus here is worth an early rise.

Thanks to the extensive south and west facing outlook over fields, Coed Heulog is a bright and sunny property, with lovely views across the pastoral landscape to the hills above Cyffylliog. It is well served by an excellent track along with a 40 metre spur of hard road that reaches into the property itself. This spur (over which no other parties have access) leads onto a soft track that can be driven by 2WD when dry, giving vehicular access to the greater part of the north side of the wood.

The two caravans near the west side of the wood (one with a timber lean-to extension) are included in the sale, but can be removed if not wanted. There is also an intriguing small thatched hazel-lattice workshop and a composting toilet on site.

Coed Heulog offers the prospect of managing and enjoying the development of a first-class stand of emerging hardwoods. Add to this the privacy, views, mature stems, rich habitat and natural beauty of the area and you have a winning recipe.

If It Were Mine

The maturing stems are ready for a first thin, which could yield sufficient volume for a small commercial operation. I might also fell one or two of the clean-stemmed over-storey hardwoods to produce some excellent mill-wood. I’d also spend significant time relaxing in this rural idyll.

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