Coed Cynon occupies a near-level site in a private location within a larger gated woodland, lying on the south flank of a broad hill in the heart of the Ceredigion countryside. Local services are available at Ffostrasol two miles away. The main A487 coast road is 3 miles to the north giving access to the pretty coastal towns of Aberaeron (10 miles to the northeast) and Cardigan (13 miles to the southwest).

The majority of the wood is populated by maturing spruce which is approaching production phase. Scattered through the spruce are elements of lodgepole pine, while the edges of the wood support pockets of younger broadleaves including oak, birch and rowan. Towards the southwest corner there is an attractive area of semi-open ground with scattered broadleaves which could be developed into a most attractive amenity area with commanding views to the south.

The wood is served by a substantial hard track capable of supporting timber extraction, but also accessible by car. This leads to a hard track within the sale area on its northwest side which promises excellent access for future management. A private footpath meanders round the wood aiding inspection and access to the southeast side of the property.

If It Were Mine
I’d process the few blown stems on the exposed northeast edge (the result of last winter’s storms). This would keep my log store well supplied. I’d also want to clear overgrowing vegetation from the tracks. Looking forward, the conifers will provide significant volumes of timber as they approach maturity.

In the interim there’s the promise of quiet enjoyment, especially in the more open parts where I’d be tempted to level out an area for camping and BBQs, taking advantage of the lovely southerly views.
