Description
A short distance from the town of Llandovery in rural Carmarthenshire, Coed Rhydoldog is accessed through a locked gate and represents a great opportunity for a new owner keen on conservation and wildlife.
Formerly a conifer woodland amongst gently sloping and undulating loamy clay soils, much of the woodland is re-establishing with a blend of recently planted mixed broadleaves and shrubs. These include alder, cherry, oak, birch, poplar and lime. In addition, natural successors such as birch, hazel and willow are also beginning to support the replanted mosaic of thickets. There are a number of small mature wooded groves in areas throughout that contain oak and birch, as well as a smattering of taller stems of Norway spruce, birch and ash.
Occupying most of the western side is a large lake with an island, where you will find several stems of tall Scots pine and willow, with lush fusions of great reedmace, common reed and reed sweet-grass below, creating a lovely habitat for birds. The ground vegetation in this part is mostly verdant common rush interspersed with patches of grass and sphagnum moss.
To the east lie grassy glades dotted with holly, gorse, foxglove, primrose and bracken. Occasional large brash mounds from historic management now form wonderful hiding places for fauna.
This peaceful locale draws an array of feathered visitors including moorhen, mallard, dipper, sedge warbler and countless harmonious songsters. Otter, wood mouse, fallow deer, hare and badger have been spotted.
If It Were Mine
I would initially spend time getting to know the woodland, whilst taking note of the visiting wildlife. I would plan a structure to cross over the lake onto the island, then clear an area for a raised deck, ideal for camping adventures. This is a perfect area for star gazing with little in the way of light pollution. In the longer term I would plan some further tree planting.
Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
