Description

The Mount 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.

As its name suggests, The Mount occupies the crown of a hill and consequently has a pleasantly light feel. The upper area is level or gently sloping with occasional limestone outcrops, falling away more steeply to the eastern boundary.

The crown is dominated by a stand of Scots pine which progressively blends with a fringe of broadleaves dominated by mature coppiced beech, some of which boast impressive canopy architecture. There are also minor elements of sycamore, oak, birch and ash atop a light shrub understorey. 

The woodland floor is largely ‘clean’ and easily walked, leading up to a more secluded area within the limestone outcrops at the top. There is ready pedestrian access from the village into the northeast corner of the wood and there is also a 4WD access route into the south of the property.

A modest amount of chainsaw time will keep the wood in good heart. There’s also plenty of scope for recreation in this pretty little property.

If It Were Mine

A number of fallen stems will provide generous supplies of firewood, and a light thinning of denser stands would yield considerably more. The Mount invites family recreation and BBQs, and after a hard day’s enjoyment I might then check out the village pub which is a stone’s throw away (literally!).

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