About this wood

Coed Glyn Gwennws lies in the upper reaches of the Afon Tawe catchments within the Brecon Beacons National Park. The site is surrounded by poorly drained land except where agricultural improvement has taken place to the south east. Building development occurs to the east. A rocky tor with extensive bracken, scrub and patchy acidic grassland dominates the reserve with slopes extending to the site boundaries. The upper part of the tor was planted with mixed broadleaves in 2000 as a local community millennium wood as part of the Woodland Trust’s Woods on your Doorstep scheme.
