Description

Coed Canol lies near the mid-section of a larger wood that runs up a broad shoulder towards the western fringe of the Brecon Beacons Park. It is surrounded by a mosaic of fields, hedges and coverts amidst a rolling agricultural landscape, with the higher moors of the Brecons off to the east.

It is essentially a wood of two parts, with the lower and upper sections separated by the crumpled limestone cliffs of the former quarry face. It thus has the unusual combination of both shelter and views.

The lower area is the level base of the historic quarry. It is better described as a glade, being thoroughly greened with mixed hardwoods up to 50 years of age and with a rich ground flora including wild garlic, fern and bluebell. The dominant tree species here is ash (which of course enjoys the base-rich conditions), supplemented by occasional oak and sycamore. Amidst its leafy tranquillity, it is now hard to imagine the industry which must have occurred here a century ago.

The upper woodland to the southeast overlies largely unmodified topography and is more diverse in terms of species with a higher oak content. Thanks to surrounding woodland and a south-easterly aspect, it is also sheltered and sunny. A range of native shrubs including holly, hawthorn, spindle and hazel are peppered through the sub-canopy along with scattered stems of regenerating hardwoods from the older trees.

The property is well served by a surfaced track that is accessible to 4WD vehicles, and in summer by 2WD. This track leads into the very heart of the glade with a looped parking and turning area at its end. Access to the upper woodland area is via the hard track on the northeast boundary.

Coed Canol is extremely quiet with no public access. With its interesting landforms, easy access, privacy and established tree cover this property is, above all else, a wood to enjoy.

SAFETY NOTE

The limestone quarry faces to the south and east of the central glade are steep, and care should be taken when viewing the upper woodland area. There are also steep quarry faces on the west side of Coed Canol which descend to the wood below.

If It Were Mine

The glade provides an obvious focus for woodland recreation being an ideal locus for private camping and barbeques. I would consider some light thinning works that could yield a moderate quantity of woodfuel to warm the hearth.

Please note some woodland management activities may require a licence from Natural Resources Wales.

• You are now in Coed Canol. Continue another 40 metres and turn right to enter the glade area.
• To view the upper wood, either continue another 60 metres up the main track and then turn next right up the hairpin to E, or walk up the path at J near the southwest corner of the glade.
• Please take care of quarry faces near both these routes.
