The woodland is made up of both conifer and broadleaf. The area of Ancient semi natural woodland in the western sector includes beech, oak, birch and some ash, along with holly, hazel and hawthorn and one or two small rhododendron.

Alder and hazel grow along the damp environment of the river banks.

There is a stand of Sitka spruce in the south western corner of Coed Glyncoch which has been thinned and left to grow on and could be harvested at maturity and replanted, or gradually thinned compartmentally and replanted with broadleaf or another crop of conifer.

The varied habitats of the surrounding area; hedgerows and pasture land along with the mudflats along the Twyi and Taf estuaries, and Allt y Hendre's Ancient Woodland status result in a richness of wildlife, some quite rare. Local wildlife recordings have made note of Lesser and Greater Horseshoe bats (not commonly seen these days) attracted to the wooded valleys, and Golden plover are drawn to the mud flats of the Taf Estuary. Other coastal birds such as sandpipers, ringed plovers and egrets can be seen and heard at the mouths of the Twyi and Taf, and far more common, red kite can be seen circling overhead.

Large area of Ancient Woodland extending along the course of the stream which runs through the full length of Coed Glyncoch, northeast to southwest.

An area of recent clear fell under power lines which run on a southwest-northeast axis across the woodland. Potential opportunity to establish a willow or alder coppice here, suiting the height restrictions under the power line and also taking advantage of the wet ground at rivers edge.

Good, sole use, gated access directly off the minor country road.

Access to Coed Glyncoch is excellent, directly off the minor public road with its own gated entrance.

There are no public footpaths through Coed Glyncoch.

Within the woodland are opportunities to establish a coppice rotation on the recently clear felled site.

There is much nature spotting to be done along the rivers course which wends and winds through the woodland.

There is a public footpath which runs through the larger woodland Allt yr Hendre, of which Coed Glyncoch sits at the very north/northeastern tip, and this connects to the Wales Coast Path close to the banks of the River Taf, approximately a couple of miles west of the woodland, ultimately providing 870 miles of fabulous walking along the entirety of Wales' beautiful and diverse coastline!

Just beyond Llansteffan on the B4312 to Carmarthen, is the Towy Boat Club for anyone who wished to canoe or fish for the famous sewin (sea trout) in season.

To the southeast is the lovely village of Llansteffan which has the ultimate castle perched on its headland, a great beach, fish and chips and a seaside cafe as well as pubs, post office, shop and B&Bs.

To the west is the River Taf, one of three estuary rivers, along with the Twyi and the Gwendraeth which jointly flow into Carmarthen Bay.

Across the River Taf is Laugharne, where you can visit Dylan Thomas' former home, The Boathouse, now a museum, and his writing shed perched high looking out across the " sloeback, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat bobbing sea."

Carmarthen is only 20 minutes away with all amenities and transport links.
