Description

Cancoed could be loosely translated to ‘Song Woods’ in Welsh - certainly a chorus of birdsong and wildlife can be enjoyed when visiting this former conifer plantation, which was felled around eight years ago. The real appeal of this property though, is its location in the heart of Snowdonia, being 15 minutes’ drive from the popular destination of Betws y Coed, with views of Moel Siabod mountain and Dolwyddelan Castle in the distance.

The underlying bedrock is Cwm Eigiau Formation, the woodland incorporates a distinctive rocky knoll and numerous large boulders. There are pockets of mature oak, with several on the fringes of the wood adjacent to the stone wall, which defines the southwest boundary.

The land has now naturally regenerated with a combination of birch, hazel, oak, rowan, and willow and also conifers of Scots pine, Sitka spruce and larch. The current owner has also supplemented this with 2000 Welsh oak trees.

There are some areas of open ground established with heather, bilberry, various ferns and sedges. The conservation value of this mixed aged and species woodland for insects, birds and other wildlife is clear and with continued careful management it offers a wealth of opportunities.

A strip of mature spruce, owned and managed by Natural Resources Wales flanks the southeast boundary, between the A470 and the woodland. Of particular benefit is the concrete gated access point at this location, which continues as an internal hard track within the wood.


If It Were Mine

I would continue to maintain the establishing trees, supplementing with other species where appropriate. In the medium-term a gentle thinning of the young birch on the lower ground would be beneficial. There are a multitude of ongoing possibilities for Cancoed, particularly for amenity and recreation.
