About this wood

Situated on the eastern side of the Mynydd Drumau, the upper section of the woodland is a highly visible and is prominent in the local landscape. It slopes steeply down from a line of rocky crags to flatter areas on lower ground. Surrounding land is almost all improved pasture, but there is semi-natural ancient woodland to the south, which links Dyffryn woods to Coed Maesmelin, also owned by the Trust. Dyffryn woods form part of a concentration of ancient woodland and Planted Ancient Woodland Sites in the Vale of Neath.
