Description

Flank Wood marks the eastern end of the Rhyd-y-Cilgwyn Woods – mature estate woodlands that clearly demonstrate long-term stewardship.

Flank Wood is a diverse property. The northern part is dominated by thirty-year-old oak and occupies an elevated spur from which there are commanding views out over the Vale of Clwyd. It is separated from the rest of the wood by a delightful green lane populated by a plethora of bluebells and wild garlic, with arched broadleaves above.

The mid section contains the bulk of the timber with canopy hardwoods on an east-facing bank. The steeper terrain here is mitigated by ownership of the level track above which will enable timber extraction when desired.

The southern section is a spread of attractive hardwoods between Lady Bagot’s Drive and Afon Clywedog - a clean-flowing tributary of the River Clwyd. This level area not only boasts 50 yards of accessible river bank but is also enhanced by the restored mill stream and sluice that runs through it.

Species include mature oak, ash and sycamore supplemented by elements of cherry, elm and beech. Beneath this canopy are areas of younger oak, sycamore and ash with patches of native shrubs including hazel, hawthorn, elder and holly.

Needless to say this diverse habitat hosts a healthy array of fauna from wrens and pipistrelle bats to badgers and buzzards, whilst the river itself offers the additional attraction of landing a trout.

The property can be accessed by car on both the upper and lower boundaries. There is also a soft track running the entire length of the top west side of the wood which can be driven in dry weather. A stoned pull-in at the top of the wood offers car parking within the wood itself.

Timber, water, wildlife, views, access and variety. It’s all there in less than 5 acres.

If It Were Mine

I’d combine a light thinning with the creation of improved pedestrian access, especially enhancing connection between the upper sections and the riverside area. A couple of owl boxes would no doubt be welcomed by the local population of tawnies.
