Woodland for sale

Coed Wern is a mixed broadleaf woodland with a wide variety of tree species. The northern half of the woodland was primarily conifer, but this was clearfelled in 2019, and replanted with mixed broadleaves. Underneath the power lines there is younger broadleaf tree natural regen. This is much more dense, but a new owner would be free to cut paths or clearings in this area if they wish. There are natural clearings, which will be a delight to foragers, where many useful plants, including Meadowsweet, round-leaved Mint, Hemp-agrimony, and Rosebay Willowherb can be found. A stream that runs through the middle of the land in a deep, steep-sided ravine. To the south of the stream there is an area of reasonably mature trees; the canopy is sufficiently complete that there is very little undergrowth, and it is easy to walk around. Just to the left of the main entrance gate there is a small area of more mature woodland, and just to the right is a small area of conifer..

For sale as a whole or in two lots (Coed Wern Isaf: 10½ acres and Coed Wern Uchaf: 7¼ acres).

Access: There is good access directly off a minor road into the wood. A well-constructed stone track leads into the wood (as shown on the wood map).

Sporting rights: Included

Fencing obligations: No known obligations

Utilities: High voltage power lines run over the woodland, and there is one pylon on the land. Anything can be planted or allowed to grow under the line, but there is a covenant not to allow trees to grow to a height that might threaten the line. National Grid are responsible for maintaining the security/safety of the line, and will arrange with the owner to cut back trees under the line, or that are of any risk to the line.

An underground gas pipeline runs across the western end of the wood. There is a covenant not to plant trees or bushes over the line, or to carry out construction work over the line, without consulting National Grid, but there is otherwise very little impact. The affected strip of land is 24.4 metres wide.

These areas are not suitable for normal tree-planting, but are great for a wide variety of uses, such as a tree nursery, coppicing, growing fruit trees or bushes, bee-keeping, growing food, etc (subject to permission from National Grid in some cases).

One Planet Development (OPD): With the availability of water, and the areas under the power lines that could be suitable for growing food and low height crops, such as willow coppice, Coed Wern Uchaf could be suitable for OPD.

Public footpaths: There are no public footpaths or public access of any kind within the land.

Local area: The woodland is just six miles south-west of Carmarthen, four miles north of Llansteffan beach and castle, and ten miles north east of Laugharne with its castle and the Dylan Thomas Boathouse. The famous Pendine Sands and the Museum of Land Speed are just 13 miles away.
