About this wood

Green Castle Woods includes three separate semi natural ancient woodlands and the meadows and areas of recently planted native woodland which separate them. Two of the woodlands are principally oak, the third is very variable containing stands dominated by birch or ash, or alder and willow. The B4312 Carmarthen to Llansteffan road bisects the site. The Afon Tywi forms part of the northern boundary and is part of the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries a Site of Special Scientific Interest (it is now also designated as a Special Area of Conservation and a European Marine Site).
