Hardy species suited to the upland environment grow in small scattered groupings including downy and silver birch, oak, one or two small beech and mountain ash.

Well grown thick conifer; spruce and Douglas fir and hemlock line the shared access track which forms the eastern boundary, creating shelter and privacy from the track.

Deer are known to wander through, otters have been noted along the Mon and Brecon canal not far from the woodlands, and many bird species including great spotted and green woodpeckers and pied flycatchers, chiff chaff and mistle thrush populate the area.

Wonderful tranquility and peace, high up here.

Stunning views.

Close proximity to all the beauty and activities in the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Opportunity for new tree planting to create more woodland.

Access to the woodland is very good by way of a minor public road onto a hard surfaced forestry track.

No public footpaths run through Coed Odyn but various public footpaths are easily accessible close by, connecting to some fabulous walking routes.

There is potentially so much to do from this woodland, using it as a base and a great place to camp, from which to explore all that the Brecon Beacons National Park has to offer. There are excellent walking routes within reach in all directions, the closest peak being Blorenge.

Within the woodland, there is great potential to increase tree cover here with new planting, creating more woodland to pass on to future generations.

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, minutes away, offers lots of boating and walking adventures!

The Roman fort of Gobannium was built at Abergavenny in approximately AD55 on the south west side of Ysgyrd Fach directly in view from Coed Gobannium.

There is also much industrial history locally with the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, which also boasts Big Pit National Coal Museum, Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway, Blaenavon World Heritage Visitor Centre and Blaenavon Ironworks. The woodland's name, Coed Odyn, is a nod to several limekilns, the remains of which still stand in the surrounding area at Gilwern, Llanelly and Clydach which served the ironworks and other industry of 19th C Wales.

The Mon and Brec Canal which you cross over enroute to the woodland, hugs the mountainside high above the Usk valley, a result of the skilful design of the 19thC engineer Thomas Dadford. At the time, it was employed to transport iron, coal and limestone to the port of Newport, towns of South Wales and further afield to the factories of the midlands but is now a beautiful and tranquil place transporting holiday makers in boats and providing a welcome flat route for walkers and cyclists.

Abergavenny, just northwest of the woodland within 10 minutes drive, is a lovely market town with good pubs, b&bs and restaurants and all amenities.
