Description

Caluna Wood is part of a larger wood known as Pengaer, lying on near-level ground with a gentle north-westerly aspect. The small village of Ffostrasol with its shop and pub is a mile to the south. The Cardigan Bay coast is 10 minutes away. Carmarthen and its dual carriageway link to the M4 is half an hour to the south.

Caluna and the wider woodland were felled and replanted about 20 years ago. Caluna was then restocked with a variety of native broadleaves including oak and rowan which have been supplemented by extensive natural regeneration of other species including birch, willow, holly and hazel. Conifers have also regenerated in random pattern and now afford shelter to the hardwoods. Sitka spruce is the dominant conifer, but you will also find larch and lodgepole pine scattered through the mix. All species appear to be growing well.

There is good all-weather access thanks to a hard stone track connecting to the east side of the wood from which there are lovely framed views over the surrounding countryside. This links with an unsurfaced ride running the length of the east boundary aiding future management. There is a sizeable layby at the northwest corner.

The vendors commissioned a survey and management plan in 2014 to identify management options especially geared to returning the woodland to what historically would have grown here. A copy of this is available from the agent on request. 

The restoration of mixed woodland cover is already seeing a similar restoration of birdlife, and Caluna was alive with birdsong when we visited. The new owner will now have the opportunity of further developing the conservation value of this interesting wood.

If It Were Mine

I would certainly maintain the grassy ride on the east side and restore and extend the meandering path within the wood that links with the layby at the northwest corner.

I would then seek to identify promising broadleaves (especially oak) and release them from competing trees. Ultimately I would want to steer the wood towards what would have grown here naturally – designated under the National Vegetation Classification as ‘Atlantic Oakwood’.

A small clearing in the middle would provide a most secret hideaway for quiet recreation and enjoyment.

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