The top section of woodland has a few scattered broadleaf trees, sycamore, hazel and birch. These will thrive now in more light. The bottom part of the woodland has tall fir that provide protection from the prevailing winds, and cover for wildlife. These well established trees have been planted with a single furrow, and managed, so are developing into attractive trees that will potentially have good value at harvest.

Some of the area where the fir trees are located is designated as a Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS)

During our work in the woodland we have been lucky enough to see Red Deer grazing outside our tents in the early morning. There are also a few badger dens, some old and some active.

Spring and summer sees numerous butterflies and insects.

The birdlife is diverse, there are peregrine falcon, large buzzards and kites circling overhead. This woodland has been clearfelled, but please notice the raptor perches that have been thoughtfully left to help maintain the natural balance of the environment.

Coed Ewig is a steep woodland, the upper area has been mostly clear felled of larch, leaving small patches of broadleaf trees. The lower area still has dense woodland, all of the woodland is easily accessed by a network of tracks.

Coed Ewig is accessed up a retained trackway. This branches to the right, where a cleared area provides a future parking or camping spot. This track then progresses up a zigzag to the top area of the woodland.

Following the left hand track (a right of way for the woodland) , the route leads to a shared turning circle. On the right hand side of this circle is a ridestop which is the top of the zigzag path, and at the top of the circle is a track leading to the upper area of the woodland where the views open up to an amazing panorama over the Banwy Valley.

Llanerfyl is a village and community in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales. Located near the River Banwy, the community includes the village of Llanerfyl, several farms and wide tracts of marchland. The village contains St Erfyl's church, rebuilt in 1870. It contains the remnants of a 15th-century shrine. The circular churchyard has in it a gravestone from either the 5th or 6th century possibly commemorating Santess (female saint) Gwerfyl.

In the village please pay a visit to the wonderful cafe and village shop - Y Cwpan Pinc.

Nearby is the Cann Office Hotel - Bedrooms, restaurant and take away.

Opposite the woodlands is the well maintained Bluebell Park for caravans, camping and fishing.

The area is full of things to do and places to visit, such as Powys Castle and Rhiw Steam Railway.

This area is right on the edge of the Cambrian mountains and isn't too far from Llyn Vyrnwy and the 6,000 acre Dyfnant Forest, described by Lonely Planet as being "where a well-signposted maze of forestry tracks culminates in one enormous hill before descending rather spectacularly toward Lake Vyrnwy".

Behind the woodland lies the hill Moel Bentyrch, on which the remains of the Pen y Bwlch ancient settlement can be found. Literally translated this is 'top of the pass',
