Description

Hendre Copse lies in the heart of rural southwest Wales near the boundary between Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Newcastle Emlyn is ten minutes to the north. Carmarthen and the A48 dual carriageway are 17 miles to the southeast, and Cardigan some 12 miles to the northwest.

The wood lies on the west side of Afon Cych, a clean-running South Wales salmon river. The wood has an easterly aspect with fairly steep mid-slopes which taper off to more modest slopes above and level river-side terraces below.

Hendre Copse is an Ancient Woodland Site which was restocked with native broadleaves after the previous conifer crop was cleared in the 1990s. The planted oak has been consolidated with natural regeneration – principally of birch but also with minor elements of ash and rowan – and a variety of other native species have been planted more recently to further diversify the wood. There is a healthy understorey of hazel in the shrub layer in company with scattered hawthorn and holly. The streamsides support a variety of more mature stems including oak, ash, alder and willow.

The wood is reached by a heavy-duty steel-beam bridge. This leads into a private track which terminates in a parking/turning area near the riverside. On leaving your car you are instantly in another world of fluttering leaves, rippling water and abundant wildlife. Buzzards and sparrow-hawks hunt overhead, whilst kingfishers, dippers, wagtails and herons patrol the river below. There are over 20 bird boxes in the wood, occupied by a variety of woodland birds including robins, tits and flycatchers. Bird-watchers will find plenty to occupy themselves here.

Hendre Copse enjoys about 150 metres of frontage to Afon Cych on its east side with fishing rights thereon, whilst an attractive small tumbling stream marks the southern boundary.

This wood has quiet recreation writ large, but with the added bonuses of a wealth of birdlife and involvement in the development of an evolving young native woodland.

If It Were Mine

I’d continue the current owner’s re-spacing of the birch to favour the oaks, and also remove the rest of the tree tubes.

Recuperation afterwards would be with a flask of tea on the riverside bench, while the hardstanding area at the end of the track is an obvious overnight spot for a caravan. Bliss!

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