About this wood

The wood lies on the moderately steep, south facing sandstone scarp above the Chwiler Valley, with free-draining soils. Overlooking the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Coed Pwllgwyn is part of a generally well-wooded landscape with the surrounding land use being predominately pasture. Apart from a row of mature oaks and sycamore along the southern boundary, the wood consists of ash, oak and sycamore regrowth from felling in the 1960's and 70's. Understorey includes hazel, holly, elder and hawthorn, and ash regeneration is good. The varied ground flora includes bluebell, dog's mercury, wood melick and nettle-leaved bellflower.
