Description
In the summer, it's a dense, green sanctuary of Silver Birch, Sitka spruce, and bracken, while autumn brings a bounty of fruit.
The bracken could be managed down and this would open up some great flat spots for a quiet campspot or a perfect little wildlife haven.
The woodland is flat and well drained. There is a small parking area through the wooden gates (key will be given to the purchaser).
As well as the planted Sitka, here are many smaller trees, Rowan, Cherry, Oak that are growing already in the rich soil, they would benefit from some love and care.
Trees
Cuckoo Wood is partly replanted and partly naturally regenerated.
To the western tip of the triangle is dense Silver Birch, fast growing Sitka ribbons along the outer edges of the triangle, and then on the northern track there are fruiting trees such as Rowan, Cherry and Alder.
In the centre the of the triangle the bracken is dense and Cuckoo Wood would benefit from gentle woodland management, the trees here are sparse, the area could be cleared to create a quiet broadleaf and more delicate tree haven.
Wildlife
The area is close to the natural nature reserve, Moss Fern and a neighbouring lake. As a result there is a lot of wildlife in the area.
Signs of deer, badger and rabbit are the obvious mammals, though bats have been seen in the evening.
The birdlife here is really diverse, from Sparrows, Siskins and Finches, through to Tawny Owls, Woodcock, Sparrowhawk and Pheasants. Nearby ponds and lakes encourage water fowl with several types of duck visiting and often flying overhead.
Insects and pollinators enjoy the range of habitats, with butterflies being particularly prevalent.
Features
A flat mostly naturally regenerated triangular shaped Woodland.
Access, tracks and footpaths
There is a brush cut public footpath that runs along the eastern boundary. The public bridleway to the south of the woodland (150m away) gets a little use, whilst we have never seen anyone using the footpath on the eastern side of Cuckoo wood.
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.
Activities
Cuckoo Wood is located near the famous Fenns. Nearby is Hamner Mere - a village with 9 water ways The Mere Cycleway will take you past 9 meres, or if you prefer some nature there is Moss Fenn park which has been a National Natural reserve for 30 years!
Cuckoo Wood is also close to LLangollen, which boasts a castle, gorgeous river and plenty of quality places to eat.
For an arty day out, try the sculpture trail in nearby Ellesmere.
Being so close to the border, Whitchurch is also nearby.
Finally - don't forget about Wrexham and it's new found football fame!
Local area and history
Bronington is ideally located on the border between Wales and England. It is first mentioned in 1284 as Bronynton ‘settlement of [Bron’s] people’. In 1777 an enclosure map shows only nine buildings clustered around the edges of what was a long central green or common lying to the south of the present School Lane. More on it's history can be found here - http://www.bronington-cc.org/history/ .
It has easy links to Whitchurch, Wrexham and Oswestry, but is in a quiet rural location.
