Planted in the late 1950s, Coed Clunderwen is an established coniferous wood, consisting mainly of Japanese Larch with a smattering of young broadleaves such as ash, oak and sycamore around the perimeters.
The shared access track brings you to the eastern boundary of Coed Clunderwen, where you will find a large flat open area with hardstanding parking. Entering on foot from the parking area, there is access into the wood. There are many areas within the woodland ideal for family camping, wildlife watching or a woodland workspace.
The northern boundary is indicated by an earth bank which starts a quarter of the way along the boundary edge. The woodland is bordered by woodland to the north and south, a track to the east and farmland to the west. The earth bank also snakes its way through the woodland from north west to south east and trails off into the surrounding woodland. It provides habitat for fern and moss species as well as ash and oak saplings. Bluebells can be found on the woodland floor alongside evidence of badger and rabbit activity.
The Landsker Borderlands Trail, a 60 mile circular trail which explores the rural area on the Pembrokeshire-Carmarthen border, skims the western edge of Gelli. Most notably Coed Clunderwen is located within 5 miles of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, which takes in about a third of the county including the entire coastal strip. It's the only National Park that is almost entirely coastal. The Wildlife Trust of West and South Wales manages some of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park’s important wildlife sites, such as Skomer Island, famous for their seabird and Atlantic grey seal populations.
Coed Clunderwen is part of a larger planted area of woodland known as Drim Wood located in the village of Gelli. The Eastern Cleddau runs along the eastern stretch of Drim Wood and boasts good Sea Trout fishing. The small town of Llandissilio is located on the A478 roughly 3 miles away and offers local amenities. Gelli is located 5 miles from the larger town of Narberth, home to Oakwood Theme Park. It is also about a 20 minute drive from Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire’s county town.
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.

Coed Clunderwen lies a few miles north of the A40 between Haverfordwest (10 miles) and St Clears (10 miles). From the A40 take the A478 North for about two miles. Just after you enter Clunderwen and before you reach the 30mph zone turn left signposted Maenclochog. Follow this road for approx 2.5 miles. Turn left onto road signposted Gelli and follow this round for 0.2 miles, over two stone bridges. The woodland entrance is approximately 100 metres past the second bridge.
After turning off the road you turn into Drim Wood and onto a stone track suitable for a two wheel drive vehicle. This track is a marked bridle way with public right of way. Continue down this track until you reach a cross roads. You will see a set of wooden gates and a ridestop to your right marked with “woodlands for sale” signboards on them; access to this woodland is via the left hand ridestop. Continue up this track until it opens up into a large hardstanding area with a stone quarry, this is where you will need to park.
To get to the woodland you will have to walk up the gated track that is round to your left as you drive into the quarry. The woodland is on the right hand side of this track approximately 200 meters up.
