Description

Cove Wood sits at the northwest corner of a larger woodland on the outskirts of the attractive village of Maeshafn, in the Clwydian Range ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. Mold is about 15 minutes to the east and Ruthin a similar distance to the west. The A55 dual carriageway is just 8 miles to the northeast enabling easy access from Manchester and the West Midlands.

Lying on the curve of west and north facing slopes, this wood has a bright and airy aspect with winter glimpses out to the delightful countryside beyond. The terrain is lightly folded with small rounded gulleys, terraces and gentle slopes punctuated occasionally by small limestone outcrops. A few large full-canopied beech are surrounded by the next generation of maturing stems which are growing well on this lime-rich and freely-drained site. Ash, birch, cherry and oak are scattered within the beech beneath which are pockets of holly and hawthorn.

The woodland floor is a clean carpet of copper-coloured beech leaves lightly dotted with fern, mossy outcrops and a small area of bramble.

Access to the wood is via a tarmac road that links with the private entrance into the wood on the west side of the property, from where the rest of the wood is easily accessed via dry freely-drained ground.

This little property has a distinctive feel and being linked to a larger wood (with public footpaths) combines ‘entry level’ economy with a ‘big wood’ feel.

If It Were Mine

Woodland recreation and a gentle cycle of thinning would keep me happily occupied for many weekends in the year.

• Continue 0.8 mile to the village of Maeshafn.
• As you enter the village, about 30 metres after the Maeshafn sign, turn sharp right onto the drive for Pentre Cerrig (A on the plan).

• Walk north back up the drive for 80 metres and enter the wood at a break in the fence (C) marked by a white-topped post.
• Cove Wood is on your left after this point.

• Continue for 1.2 miles then turn right into the village of Maeshafn at a small grass triangle.
• Pass through the village and take the private drive for Pentre Cerrig on the left side just before leaving the village (A).

Safety Note

The wider woodland area has been mined for over 200 years and there are a number of historic entrances and fissures visible on the surface, some of which have been fenced. There is no definitive plan of mining activity.

Please take appropriate care when viewing and keep back from any unfenced sinks or openings.

Please note that we do not give out keys for viewing.
