Coed Gwinllan Tyddyn lies on level ground a short distance from the village of Penygroes in rural Gwynedd. The royal town of Caernarfon with its famed castle is five miles to the north and the university city of Bangor with links to the A55 North Wales Expressway is ten miles further to the northeast.

The vendors felled the previous conifer crop in 2010. With a view to habitat enhancement, they then used the timber revenue to replant the site with broadleaves. They did this entirely through their own endeavours, planting and carefully maintaining all the trees that now thrive here.

The species they selected were all native and appropriate to site. Birch, alder and willow are supplemented by minor elements of rowan, crab apple and oak along with woody shrubs including holly, hawthorn and hazel. A few conifers from the previous crop have also seeded in, providing a little winter colour after leaf-fall. There is also a conspicuous small group of mature larch just south of the entrance gate and a variety of mature hardwoods scattered around the perimeter.

The wood is served by an excellent internal hard track giving 2WD access to all lots. The evolving woodland habitat is now providing refuge for an increasing range of woodland birds and mammals from voles to buzzards, and there is an attractive stream flowing through the northern part of the wood. The coast is just 2½ miles to the west over which there are long views framed by hills on the Llyn Peninsula to the south and Holyhead Mountain to the north.

The shipping container (in poor condition) near the gate is included with lot 2.

Those with a similar aspiration to the vendor will find plenty of opportunity to explore silvicultural and conservation interests in this dynamic young woodland.

Please note, a sale of Lot 2 in advance of Lot 1 will be subject to vendor approval.

Our Forester's Thoughts

Alastair says...

"My first job would be to clear some of the rides beyond the hardstanding area and link them to paths within the stands. I would also want to create dapple shade by thinning out trees adjacent to the stream.

The trees have grown well and I would re-space the denser areas, favouring the retention of birch and minor species like rowan and oak where possible.

With stream frontage and excellent hard track access, the opportunities for family enjoyment are self-evident."
