Description

Berres Wood occupies a series of gently sloping terraces fringed by steeper limestone outcrops on the east side of a larger woodland in the Clwydian Range ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. The small village of Maeshafn is close by. 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 major crop component is maturing beech punctuated by the occasional large multi-stemmed specimen. Within this is a scattering of ash and the occasional oak. The woodland is more diverse in the northeast corner where the beech gives way to a complex of sycamore, oak, birch, elm and hazel. There is also an attractive stand of maturing oak at the southwest corner (easy to identify thanks to the rich ground vegetation associated with this species).

As is common with beech woods, Berres is delightfully free of entangling vegetation with small patches of wild garlic, bluebells and wood anemones set amidst the wider leafy woodland floor. This makes for easy walking as well as 4WD access where inclines allow. The main access into the southwest of the wood is navigable by 2WD in drier conditions.

Berres is a most attractive wood in a popular location.

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. Berres Wood also contains some steep bluffs. Please take appropriate care when viewing and keep back from any unfenced hazards.

If It Were Mine

I’d take advantage of the current healthy timber market by thinning the wood and also consider improving internal access with an unsurfaced track down to the lower east side.

The opportunities for camping and woodland recreation are self-evident.

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