Blaen Y Cae is a maturing, predominantly spruce, forest situated a mile from Snowdonia National Park.
Comprising two distinct blocks separated by a highway, species
within the wood are almost entirely coniferous with Sitka spruce
the most common and Norway spruce and Lodgepole pine also
featuring. The western block was planted in 2015 and 2017
whilst much of the eastern block was planted in 2012. Generally,
growth is good with the last year’s growing season particularly
impressive, especially in the 2017 crop.
Recent works have been focused on the western half and include
spraying between the crops and at the ride sides, the benefit of
which is clear to see. A prospective purchaser may look to thin
the 2012 crop in the coming years which will provide a useful
income.
Small areas of 1970s Sitka spruce remain in the eastern block
whilst the far end comprises a mix of broadleaves including oak,
cherry, sweet chestnut and sycamore amongst mature conifers.
This area is classified as Ancient woodland, specifically a
Restored Ancient Woodland Site, indicating the land has had
trees growing continuously since before 1600 AD. Ancient
woodland can often benefit from enhanced grant aid to assist
with managing the wood to maintain or restore its status as
Ancient woodland.
An attractive stream runs through the Ancient woodland. With a
little work this area could be transformed into a peaceful and
diverse corner and represent a pleasant contrast to the
remainder of this very commercial wood.
Purchasers will find further interest in Ffynnon Cegin Arthur,
which translates as The Water of Arthur’s Kitchen, a noted
chalybeate spring thought to be the source of the River Cegin.
The remains of the well can be found in the eastern block.
