About this wood

Gaer Fawr occupies a prominent hill approximately 1km north of Guilsfield (Cegidfa) near Welshpool. The flanks of the hill support semi-natural woodland, most of which is ancient, with a diverse species composition including areas dominated by sessile oak coppice, areas dominated by ash and sycamore and small patches of wet woodland with frequent alder.
