Am dan y warchodfa

This small broadleaved woodland provides a haven for mammals, birds, wildflowers and insects to thrive.

The wood is made up largely of ash with downy birch, rowan, pedunculate oak and suckering wych elm.  Older trees decay and provide excellent habitat for insects.  Some nationally scarce lichens have also been discovered here.

In spring there is a lovely display of early-purple orchid, bluebells, sanicle and wood anemone.  Of particular importance in the wood are adders-tongue fern, common twayblade and broad-leaved helleborine.

Woodland birds include pied flycatcher, treecreeper, redstart, marsh tit, willow warbler and bullfinch.  Both green and great-spotted woodpeckers breed here with butterflies visiting in the sunnier months.
