A secluded woodland with good access, perfect for wild camping and conservation management.

Coed Felin Fach occupies the hilltop and southerly face of a ridgeline and benefits from shared roadside access from the south by way of a stone track which leads all the way to the woodland boundary. Parking is available at the top and a roughly cleared track leads to the flat hilltop of the ridge from the northeast corner.

Comprising of mixed broadleaves (mostly ash, sycamore, beech with an understorey of holly, hazel, hawthorn) and the occasional Scots pine, there are signs of historical management of the woodland. Natural regeneration of the ash and other trees have taken over the ground in places, but with a little work could easily be cleared. Patches of laurel and rhododendron add perennial greenery, although they do have a tendency to spread as they grow well under shade. On the plus side these can be utilised to create secluded places to shelter, and the flowers add colour to the woodland environment in the spring.

The woodland was once part of a larger estate with access tracks that crisscross the wider area. Along the ridgeline there are signs of the track which are recorded on OS maps, but now overgrown. Opening this up would allow vehicle access into the middle of a large plateau in the northwest corner of the woodland.

In summary, Coed Felin Fach presents the ideal opportunity for someone with a conservation mindset to bring a forgotten woodland back into good management, perhaps implementing sensitive operations to open up the canopy, creating space for other tree and plant species to flourish.

Our Forester'sThoughts

Jude says...

"Clearing the old estate track would be my number one priority as this would allow access to the plateau. I would build a little staging post, and perhaps create a wet weather shelter/lean-to.

Clearing the overgrown bramble and slowly felling some trees to create space in the canopy, allowing more light to reach the woodland floor would be my next task.

This is also the perfect location to camp under the stars and produce a moderate amount of firewood for the home hearth and even a little campfire."
