Description

Coed Dyffryn Cothi (Cothi Valley Wood), as the name suggests, is in a shallow valley adjacent to the Afon Cothi (Cothi River). Despite the strip of land between the edge of the river and the woodland belonging to a fishing syndicate, views of the river can be seen the length of northern boundary. The burbling sound of the flowing water is a perennial background noise which, coupled with the birdsong provides a beautiful soundtrack when in the woods.

The woodland is a real mix of tree species, a testament to the varied management over the last 150 years. Most of the woodland seems to be naturally regenerated mixed broadleaves. Mature oak and beech can be found growing on the western and southern edges – these are typically left during any felling operations, and are beautiful in their irregular shape and sure to home a great diversity of birds, bugs and creepy crawlies. Near a turning spot on the track is small block of mature Douglas fir. As a non-native tree species in the UK, this block is no doubt an historic remnant of what has been grown in years gone by. If felled and milled in situ the timber would be perfect to use at home (or in the wood) for small furniture projects. The rest of the woodland is a variety of sycamore, willow, hawthorn, hazel, silver birch, ash and the odd self-seeded fir and oak, a real eclectic mix of species.

The understorey is relatively thick with young saplings, but interspersed with rhododendron growing on the slopes, and the usual woodland characters of bramble wild grasses, mosses, ferns and a variety of wildflowers and mushrooms.

The topography in the woodland is initially flat but somewhat overgrown, which leads up to a steep section land that has some great views over the nearby river on to the countryside beyond. Thereafter the woodland flattens out and is predominantly flat until the edge of the property. This area, with a little clearance could be a highly useable space for camping and such.

Access to the woodland is along a shared track, recently cleared and repaired to a high standard and should be suitable for most vehicles all year-round. A large turning circle at the end of the track is a great addition to the woodland and can be used for a variety of purposes. Beyond here, a soft vehicle track leads back up the hill ending at the top of the slope, this is perhaps not useable in its current state but could be improved to create even better access further into the woodland. At the top this track narrows and links with an old public footpath that leads down to a dismantled bridge, neither of which are in use. The woodland is a nice mix of steep slopes and flat ground and incredibly secluded from the outside world.

If It Were Mine

I would clear some of the willow in the northeast corner near the turning circle as this is an obvious place for a little camping area. I would be tempted to fell some of the Douglas fir and process them in situ. This timber is a beautiful colour, and I would be tempted to build some live edge shelves for the home. I would also look at clearing a track into the western part of the woodland as this is a lovely, flat area and would be a great place to access to for a number of uses.

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