A mix of mostly broadleaf, oak, willow and sycamore. Mature oaks flank the north boundary.

During our work in the woodland we have been lucky enough to see Red Deer grazing outside our tents in the early morning. There are also a few badger dens, some old and some active.

Spring and summer sees numerous butterflies and insects. It is a haven for wildlife, pollinators are attracted to the numerous flowers, blue damselfly dragonflies sparkle in the summer sun.

The birdlife is diverse, from Canadian Geese nesting on the lake, to large buzzards and kites circling overhead. A peregrine falcon has also been spotted nearby.

The woodland and fields are full of life the whole year round. .

The main feature of this woodland is the unique lake and island surrounded by trees and open flat land. It's a haven for wildlife of all descriptions. Towards the road there is a small woodland copse, and to the west there is a boundary with a neighbouring meadow.

The woodland is accessed off the left of the main track. Through a gate there is flat land and a clearing for car parking. There is a small sheep trodden route around the lake, and a subtle pathway into the wooden copse. Apart from these pathways the woodland is a natural habitat.

There is a seldom used public footpath which passes adjacent to the lake and into the small woodland.

This area is right on the edge of the Cambrian mountains and isn't too far from Llyn Vyrnwy. The 6000 acre Dyfnant Forest (described by Lonely Planet as being "where a well-signposted maze of forestry tracks culminates in one enormous hill before descending rather spectacularly toward Lake Vyrnwy").

Standing at 335m behind the meadows and woodlands is the hill, Moel Bentyrch. Here you will find the old settlement of Pen y Bwlch (Top of the Pass) a testament to a much older community in this area.
