Coed Pendugwm
Last updated: 23 October 2007
Take a peek into the wood at Coed Pendugwm and you'll see a scene that hasn't changed for centuries. Plants and animals have obviously come and gone but in essence, the habitat has been like this for over 400 years.
What to look out for:
The special lighting effects created by proud sessile oaks and beech give centre stage to woodland plants of all colours, particularly bluebells, primroses, wood anemones and violets. In the darker, shaded areas are ferns, lichens and mosses of great beauty.
Special boxes have been put up for dormice and pied flycatchers; and rotting timber is left for bugs and mini beasts. The stream running through the wood is home to the often shy bird, the dipper and our elusive native mammal the otter.
There are well-marked routes through the reserve, with boardwalks and steps but there are several steep, rough paths which are unsuitable wheelchairs.
