Coed r Hwrdd is a moderately to steeply sloping, south west facing area of new native
woodland, occupying former pasture within Cwm-yr-Aur (Golden Valley), a tributary of the
Afon Taf. In November 2000, it was planted with a mixture of native broadleaves, including
oak, ash, alder and the nationally rare black poplar by the residents of the nearby village of
Tegryn, under the Woodland Trust’s Woods On Your Doorstep scheme.
A pond is situated near to the north-western boundary of the site and is a Millennium feature
and bench is situated near to this pond, along with another at the top of the site. The site is
also bisected by a mature hedge.
Public access is available across the whole site in the form of a series of interconnected
areas of open ground, which will be managed as wildlife habitats in themselves.
The valley floor is wooded and there are several woodlands, scrub areas, wetlands and other
semi natural habitats near to the site. The agricultural land on the northern boundaries is
made up of small permanent pasture fields separated with a network of ancient hedgerows.
The key features are newly created woodland and informal public access.
Summary Description of Access Provision
General Location
Coed yr Hwrdd is about 1/2 mile directly south of the village of Tegryn along a very quiet B
road which is hilly and has a verge but no pavement. There are various public footpaths
nearby but no other open access land close by.
Entrances and paths
There are two entrances off the B road, one is a pedestrian gate and the other is a squeeze
gap. Inside the site there is a circular walk along a grassy path which is steep in parts but
usually not muddy.
