Description

Coed Camau occupies an elevated west-facing location within a larger woodland in the Clwydian Range ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, just outside 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.

The wood occupies a series of gently-sloping terraces fringed by steeper limestone outcrops. It has a bright westerly aspect with winter views over to Moel Famau and the Clwydian Hills.

There is a mix of site-suited species dominated by beech but with significant elements of Scots pine, a few oak, and some ash. There are also minor elements of birch, the occasional elm and a scattering of shrubs including hawthorn and holly.

The vast majority of the woodland floor is free of entangling vegetation, mostly being a carpet of leaves with scattered ferns and occasional pockets of bluebells.

The main access into the southeast of the wood is navigable with 2WD in dry conditions. This is supplemented by a secondary access coming into the northwest corner which should aid extraction of forest produce from the lower western side of the wood.

Coed Camau should have broad appeal given the considerable variety of species, the interesting terrain and the beautiful surroundings.

NOTE: The wider woodland has been mined for over 200 years. There is no definitive map of the mineral workings. Please be aware that there may be unfenced mine entrances and fissures. Coed Camau also contains some steep bluffs. Please take appropriate care when viewing and keep back from any unfenced hazards.

If It Were Mine

The wood could take a modest thinning which I’d tie in with releasing some of the oak trees. Fallen dead-wood would keep my log store well stocked as well as fuelling many a BBQ.

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

• Park in the centre of the village near the red phone box and walk south down the entrance drive to the Miners Arms.
• After the pub and just after some garden sheds (opposite a white cottage) turn right to enter the wider woodland at A. This is a public right of way.
