The larger woodland, Allt y Ffynnon Wen was planted under the Farm Woodland Premium Scheme in 1993 and 1994 and the planting varies from majority areas of mixed broadleaf including ash, beech, oak, rowan and birch to conifer stands of larch, and in Coed Ebolion, Sitka spruce.

In Coed Ebolion the majority of the planting is Sitka spruce. Along its northern edge, extending the full width of the woodland from west to east and extending approximately 20-25 metres south from the northern boundary, there is an area of broadleaf regen including young sycamore, hazel and hawthorne.

There are two large streams running through Allt Ffynnon Wen and although Coed Ebolion doesn't have access to these streams, it still benefits from the wide variety of wildlife and birdlife attracted to these waterways. There is thriving birdlife here including treecreepers, goldfinch, wren, chaffinch and robins and woodpeckers are often heard. A hare has been seen along the eastern woodland boundaries and bats are seen at dusk.

This sitka plantation will provide a good timber crop once mature. There is the potential of thinning, with the option of conversion to native broadleaf woodland, either once the full crop of Sitka has been harvested, or perhaps more sensitively, with compartmental felling and continuous cover management.

Access to the woodland is from a quiet country road and via a stone track which crosses two fields before reaching the locked gate at the entrance to Allt Ffynnon Wen where there is a small parking area. There is a combination code to open the gate.

From the entrance gate, a good stoned track gives shared access to the woodland. This track is accessible to any two-wheel drive vehicle.

There are no public footpaths through Coed Ebolion itself.

Exciting prospects for woodland management for Coed Ebolion, and the great access and level ground make it a great prospect for family forestry, camping and bushcraft activities.

The lower track through Allt Ffynnon Wen was, in earlier times, a well-trodden route used by miners to access local mines. Down in the lower half of the woodland, you can still see the relics of an old pub built to cater for miners on their way home.

Trelech, located less than 2 miles away, is a quiet, rural village and has a small shop and public transport links. Trelech is located about 12 miles northwest of Carmarthen, the oldest town in Wales which has all amenities and good transport links.

It is also 9 miles from Newcastle Emlyn, an historic market town with pubs and shops.
