Description

Spring Wood is a woodland of predominantly late rotation maturing sessile oak. The trees are likely to be between 60 and 90 years old and are growing well in the free-draining fine loamy soils over Palaeozoic mudstone. Other trees growing in this woodland include sycamore and birch, with an understorey of holly and hazel. Ground vegetation includes bilberry, lady ferns (Welsh ferns), hart‘s tongue ferns, hard shield fern and swathes of springtime bluebells.

A special feature of this woodland is the river frontage onto the Afon Gronw along the western boundary of the property. This small but fast flowing river is a tributary of the Afon Taf, eventually arriving at Cardigan Bay. The fishing rights are reserved to a former owner, but the pleasures of owning a property on the banks of this delightful river can be enjoyed by the owners.

There is a small stream-fed pond just above the forest road. Within the wood a path leads to two sheds which have been installed by the current owners.

Spring Wood is classified as ‘Ancient Woodland’, a designation used where there is evidence of forest cover continuously since the year 1600. The woodland is a perfect wildlife haven. The native species and long term woodland cover have allowed complex habitat networks to develop. You can take pleasure from discovering the variety of woodland birds and mammals you would expect in an Ancient Woodland.

The land lies at 50 metres above sea level and is generally west facing, with slopes ranging from steep to gentle and access is very good. From the A40 trunk road you drive along a quiet country road, through a locked woodland gate and follow a hard-surfaced forest track up to and along the western boundary.


If It Were Mine

Spring Wood is a delightful woodland with great access making it ideal to practice small-scale silviculture. I would carry out some clearance works along the river, and possibly some light thinning of the oaks.

Please be aware that some management activities may require a licence.
