Description

Tarion Covert occupies an elevated but sheltered position in 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.

Lying near a broad summit ridge lends Tarion Covert a bright open feel. Aside from a low spine outcrop of limestone the terrain is essentially smooth with moderate inclines and gentle slopes running off to northwest and northeast.

The entire wood is populated by maturing broadleaves dominated by beech mixed with a scattering of ash and the occasional oak. The form of the stems is very encouraging suggesting a valuable crop of timber in years to come with the right management.

The woodland floor is a clean carpet of leaves spotted with small patches of bluebell making for easy access to all parts within. A public footpath leads to the village and links with a variety of interesting walks through the adjacent woods. There is a vehicular right of access in from the south which is navigable by 2WD in dry weather.

This attractive entry-level wood is an ideal purchase for the woodland starter, or for those attracted to modest silvicultural activity.

If It Were Mine

A light thinning in the denser areas to favour the best stems is an option. At the same time I might open the canopy in one or two areas to enable planting of a wider variety of native species in the gaps. With no shortage of spots for a tent there are plenty of star-gazing opportunities in the surrounding dark skies.

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