Description

Coed Brigiad is a charming property situated at the upper end of a larger broadleaf woodland on the west flank of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Although atop an elevated shoulder, much of the wood occupies level or moderately sloping ground, from which there are wide views over adjacent farms and woods.

The mature stems are dominated by ash punctuated with occasional oak and sycamore. Sadly the ash are affected by ash dieback (now ubiquitous through Britain) but the presence of young saplings of various species means a successor crop is already largely in place.

Aside from the young saplings there is a healthy shrub layer including elder, hazel, hawthorn, spindle and holly. The woodland floor supports a variety of woodland flowers such as bluebell and wild garlic along with mosses, bramble and ferns.

The field edges of the wood are fringed with some vigorous hazel trimmed to a hedge and backed by a post, rail and wire mesh fence. Within the secluded confines of the wood there is a delightful mix of attractive spreading canopies, sylvan glades and limestone outcrops (from which the wood takes its name). Of particular note is a level open area near the top of the wood a short distance from the end of the access track. Once the tracks are cleared, the prospects for woodland recreation and camping here are self-evident.

Coed Brigiad is well served by a stoned track that runs right to the upper stands of the wood, with a second track leading onto the southern section. The main track ends in a small turning area, and there is also a pull-in lower down the track.

This woodland is undoubtedly one to enjoy with opportunities for recreation, conservation and small-scale silviculture, all in a very private and attractive location.

SAFETY NOTE

The area below and to the southwest of Coed Brigiad was historically mined in the 19^th century leaving a steep quarry face within trees below the track along the southern boundary. Viewers should take care not to venture into the wood below this track.

If It Were Mine

I’d re-establish the hard track to its end by clearing beyond the pull-in half way along the track. From there I’d strim a meandering path up to the top plateau which has become a bit overgrown but could easily be recovered to make a superb camping location.

The mature ash trees are affected by ash die-back (as is the case sadly throughout Britain). Ash is an excellent burning wood, so I’d progressively remove the worst affected trees, allowing the saplings of various species beneath to succeed them. The resultant firewood could go into my log store or perhaps be marketed locally.

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