Description
This has to be one of the quietest woodlands we have ever worked in. Located in rolling hills of Powys, the views are vast. Historically this commercial woodland was planted with Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir which could now benefit from some thinning, potentially this woodland could provide a small commercial forestry income, or be managed for a quiet natural retreat from the wider world.
The entrance to the woodland is down a newly created track to a shared turning circle. There is a private area for car parking.
Within the woodland there is a hidden stream which runs down through a quiet ravine. This drops to the north, the western boundary is the centre of a rarely used footpath. To the east the woodland borders open farmland. Within this complex wood there are old forestry logging tracks and small flatter glades with ribbons of native broadleaf. The woodland is steep in parts, but with hidden flat openings which could offer space for an owner to pitch a tent perhaps?
***Please note: From the visiting parking spot just off the main road, a newly created track leads from the metal gate to the wooden gate into the wider woodland. This track has recently been grassed and isn’t ready to be driven on at this moment in time. We ask that you walk considerately to the woodland whilst it settles and hardens ready for vehicle access. The gate has a combination lock, the combination can be provided upon request, or there is a small style to enter the woodland on the left hand side of the gate.
Trees
The woodland benefits from highly fertile and well drained soil. It was originally planted with Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir, some of which was blown over during recent storms. Woodlands.co.uk have cleared much of the windblow and taken the woodland back to a more windfirm edge.
The Spruce and Douglas are mature, and around the waterways and external boundaries there are also several areas of native broadleaves that follow the watercourses and provide edge protection to the coniferous areas within the wood. These could be allowed to manage themselves and be retained long term. They could also be allowed to seed naturally regenerating the areas to provide firewood and a haven for wildlife and native plants was the objective of a new owner.
Wildlife
Coed Llanfyllin is full of birdlife, from Buzzards to Pheasants! Being such a quiet woodland you hear them all loudly!
There is also evidence of badgers and other small mammals, and while working there we saw the most gorgeous red fox which we think lives safely in the woodland somewhere.
We've also seen signs of deer. A nature web cam would be a fantastic asset here.
Features
Coed Llanfyllin is a mountain side wood, steep in parts with flatter forestry tracks and clearings hidden within it. There is a stream that runs through a small ravine.
Access, tracks and footpaths
To enter Coed Llanfyllin from the main road, there is a right of access across a field into the woodland. Pass through the main gate and down the newly created track. The entrance to Coed Llanfyllin is from the shared turning circle at the lower northern end of the track.
There is a public footpath which runs north, of which the centre is the western boundary. There are no other public areas in the woodland.
Within the woodland there are the remains of old logging tracks.
Rights and covenants
As is the case for all our woodlands, the purchaser will be asked to enter into a covenant which serves to protect the peace and quiet of the woodland.

Local area and history
The nearest town Llanfyllin was an important market and trade centre, known for its tanneries, corn and woollen mills. Later, it served as a home for Napoleonic prisoners of war and developed into a significant industrial area with a large workhouse. The town's name derives from a 7th-century Celtic saint, St. Myllin.
Llanfyllin show website makes reference to Cefn Bran being the location for a horse race, possibly to celebrate a visit from King Charles 1st in 1645!
