Cefn y Coed, Snowdonia National Park - Over 6 acres, £25,000

This mixed woodland is located on the southern side of the Ffestiniog valley, close to the mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog and just over a mile from the picturesque village of Maentrwog, home of the excellent Grapes Hotel.

The gated parking area for the wood is located on a minor road, just of the A496. From the car park the access into the wood is on foot. Walk down the minor road to the junction with the A496 and then up a set of steps on the right-hand side of the road. From the top of the steps continue east parallel to the main road and the woodland is on the right.

Walking up from the lower boundary it can be seen that the trees are growing in strips of various different species. As you progress up the slope you will cross bands of Hemlock and Larch, and then enter more open areas of broadleaf trees such as Sweet Chestnut, Beech and Ash: here the woodland is bright and many ferns carpet the ground and mosses cover the trees. You may also spot the remains of several old tracks that occasionally traverse the woodland. Continuing towards the top boundary of the wood, the land levels off into a denser and more shaded area that is dominated by quite mature Spruce. When the top of the wood is reached, spectacular views across the valley can be glimpsed between the trees. This small flatter piece of land at the top of the woodland could possibly be made into a very private and secluded area for woodland activities.

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
