Gelli Cwm - SOLD, Carmarthenshire - Over 3 acres, £19,000

Gelli Cwm, part of a larger woodland called Allt y Brain, is a woodland of split personalities. The northern extent is primarily Douglas fir plantation, whereas to the south broadleaves are dominant.

Entering the woodland via the entrance along the upper track takes you along a fairly flat track, most of which is dry. This is an idyllic spot for a camping, picnicking or wildlife watching area as there are views over the woodland. There are several impressive oak trees in the woodland bordering the upper track.

The eastern boundary slopes steeply down through the Douglas fir. Take care when walking down this part of the woodland. The boundary meets the lower track and a strip of woodland sprawls below containing Douglas fir, birch, willow and ash. There is a right of way along the lower track to the neighbouring Rhooks Wood, but the upper track is private. Taking a right turn at the sign board, you will head up the western boundary towards the entrance; from here you will see a track on the left hand side by a small spring that leads through an untouched track. Exploring this track will lead you into the middle of your woodland.

There is potential in this woodland to restore it to native broadleaf trees by removing the Douglas fir.

Allt y Brain used to form part of the ‘Plas’ Estate, which centred around a large mansion house situated in Llansteffan, a picturesque coastal village a couple of miles away. Llansteffan is a popular tourist destination and has a post office, pub, shop and historic castle. The woodland has a large shared car parking area just past the main gate which is suitable for most cars. The closest village is Llanybri, a short walk from the woodland, which has a village pub. Both Carmarthen and St Clears are easily accessible via the A40 and the M4 is easy to reach from here.
