Abertreweren

The site is located on a steep west-facing slope overlooking a deep, wide valley of mostly improved pasture, with the A4067 running through it. The northern section of this ancient woodland was clear felled in the early 1980’s and part restocked with native broadleaves and part planted with hybrid larch. The southern half still remains as a mature ancient semi natural woodland, mostly sessile oak, downy birch and rowan, with ash and alder on spring lines, and a scattered under storey of hazel and hawthorn.
