Bronnant Lake is a mixed woodland of young trees containing ash, birch, oak and conifers. The ground habitat is that of marshy wetland containing numerous grasses, sedges, mosses and ferns interspersed with natural drainage ditches (perfect for a variety of amphibian species).
Access from the main road is via a gated all weather track suitable for most vehicles. The track winds through woodland, as shown on the plan and access to Bronnant Lake is the third right hand turning off this track. At the end of this turning is the entrance to the woodland where there is space for vehicles to park. Its end of track location makes this woodland a quiet secluded spot.
Upon entering the woodland, the track turns into a stony footpath which takes you down towards Mynydd Brith Lake. The edges of the track are lined with Rosebay Willowherb a pretty native plant indicative of recent woodland clearance, however as the woodland grows the wildflower community will increase, attracting bees and other pollinating insects. Due to the nature of this previously clear-felled site, some additional replanting may be necessary to supplement the natural regeneration process.
Mynydd Brith Lake was dug a few years ago and extends to approximately 1/3 acre. It can be accessed via a gentle slope along the north westerly bank, where you will find a dry flat area perfect for viewing wildlife or camping. Fish, of unknown species and quantity, have been observed within the lake indicating its potential for fishing. The lake is edged with reeds and rushes which will attract birds such as Reed warblers. During warm weather damselflies can be seen hovering above the water as swallows can swoop for water boatman on the surface of the lake. Surrounding pastureland attracts buzzards and red kites which can be seen circling above.
The woodland is located close to the small village of Bronnant, and only a few miles from the market town of Tregaron, with local amenities. The lively seaside town of Aberystwyth is within a 30 minute drive as well as Cardigan Bay (a Special Area of Conservation) a stretch of coastline protected due to its marine inhabitants, including bottlenose dolphins. The Llyn Eiddwen National Nature Reserves, and Cors Caron (the Red Bog) are within about five miles of Bronnant Lake.
The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
