Goitre Coed Fach

Goitre Coed Fach occupies a moderately steep section of the southern side of deeply incised valley of the River Taff near Quakers Yard. It is a small part of the extensive length of more-or-less continuous riverside woodland along this valley. Housing is adjacent to the upper southern boundary, and an old tram road, now a cycleway, forms most of the northern lower boundary. At the western end the wood reaches the banks of the river, but the tram road separates most of Goitre Coed Fach from a narrow strip of mature beech woodland along the banks of the river.
