There are mature Cedar at the higher part of the woodland. They provide a quiet canopy of the woodland floor. Mixed with the cedar are oak, sycamore, beech to name a few.

Closer to the stream, the trees are a mix of broadleaf: willow, hazel, oaks, beech etc.

From raptors overhead, to small mammals under the ground, this woodland has a huge variety of wildlife.

This woodland is home to one of the cutest protected species in a woodland setting, the fabulous Hazel Dormouse. We've worked closely with a local licensed ecologist to make sure that everything in the woodland is as good as possible for these wonderful mammals. We're more than happy to put you in touch with the ecologist if you choose to become custodians of the land.

Other protected species, badgers, otters and big raptors are present, and need just as much TLC.

Whilst it's easy to get focussed on the nationally important species, there is a wealth of other flora and fauna that the owner will enjoy from damselflies and brown trout to butterflies and blackbirds; this woodland is genuinely amazing.

From a recently improved vehicle track, Coed Foddhyd rises to a plateau on the left, and drops gently to the riverside on the right.

From the iron entrance gate, Coed Foddhyd is directly up the newly cleaned track.

Approximately 200m up the track you will see a parking space, from here you can either follow the old extraction track to a larger clearing (formerly a wood stacking area). We haven't extended the track for vehicles up to the clearing due to the proximity of badgers and other small wildlife.

Within the woodland itself there is plenty of scope for moving around. There are no public footpaths, but this is an Open Access woodland.

The nearby town of Ruthin is a historical market town and community hub that has had historical links stretching back to Celtic times.

The name Ruthin comes from the Welsh rhudd ('red') and din ('fort'), after the colour of sandstone bedrock, from which the castle was built in 1277–1284.
