Description

Bluffs Wood sits at the north end of a larger gated woodland in the Clwydian Range ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, overlooking the small village of Maeshafn. Mold is about 15 minutes to the east and Ruthin a similar distance to the west. The A55 dual carriageway is 8 miles to the northeast enabling ready access to and from Manchester and the West Midlands.

With protective limestone bluffs to the north and west, the wood occupies a bright and commanding position. Above the bluffs the wood is of moderate slopes giving way to more level ground on the upper east side. Limestone outcrops punctuate the top ridge from where there are winter views of the Clwydian hills to the west.

The stands are dominated by maturing beech of good form in production phase.  They, along with elements of ash, are clearly at home in the alkaline soils. A number of large characterful mature beech are dotted across the wood and towards the summit there are also a few oak stems set amidst woody shrubs dominated by hazel. Elements of birch and holly complete the scene.

Beneath the beech stems the woodland floor is characteristically clean and easily walked. Access is direct from the public road via an unsurfaced track that wraps round the west side of the wood. A secondary pedestrian access runs along the north side of the wood, and access rights over a third route to the south enables the extraction of woodland produce.

This characterful property has charm aplenty along with hardwood stems sufficient to support a modest woodland enterprise.


If It Were Mine

The mid-rotation hardwoods could be thinned to produce reasonable volumes of firewood and denser areas of regeneration near the top could be re-spaced. I would also be tempted to remove a few stems to open up framed views to the west.

A productive day on the chainsaw can then be rewarded by a visit to the village pub which is a two minute walk away!

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