Description
A very unusual woodland for Wales in that it is completely flat throughout. Excellent access directly off the A487 means there is great potential for Coed Ynys, especially with its location in this incredibly beautiful area close to the banks of the Dyfi estuary and between the wildlife havens of the Ynyshir and Cors Dyfi nature reserves.
It is a young plantation style woodland of alder and birch with an open ride under the power line which crosses the woodland east west in its northern section. Adjacent to Coed Ynys, outside its northern boundary is a large area of wetland, but within the woodland the ground is dry and firm underfoot throughout, grassy in the main with ferns and various wildflowers in parts such as meadow sweet. Inside the entrance to the woodland there is a large stoned area which would provide a great place for setting up an area for woodland activities, stacking wood or camping. There's plenty of space for a camper van and access is easy for a vehicle.
Further into the woodland, are pretty and more private areas for camping among the stand of birch trees established on the northern section of Coed Ynys.
The roadside boundary is hedged, so valuable for birds and wildlife, and there are also areas of bramble along that southern boundary.
The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
Trees
The planting was carried out in this woodland according to species, resulting in a woodland divided roughly into quarter strips. The roadside, southern quarter is comprised of alder.
The mid quarter is planted with ash, much of which has unfortunately succumbed to die-back. Although it is sad to lose the ash, this can be put to good use as firewood and the cleared area presents a great opportunity for new planting.
A power line runs across the third section meaning that growth here needs to be kept in check, below 5 metres, which suggests coppicing as an ideal management method.
The northern quarter of the wood is planted with birch.
Wildlife
Features
Flat, level, no hills, completely flat.
Access, tracks and footpaths
Access is excellent with a gated entrance directly off the A487 leading to a shared turning circle, and Coed Ynys' entrance opens directly off this.
There are no public footpaths through Coed Dyfi.
Dovey Junction train station is a short distance from the woodland but only accessible by footpath.
Activities
The excellent access and level ground provide great opportunities here for using the woodland for workshops or educational projects.
There is opportunity to take out the stand of ash and to plant the cleared area with a variety of native broadleaf, or there is potential to establish a coppice rotation of perhaps willow or alder, extending under the power line with a view to producing material for basketry, or firewood or charcoal. There are of course numerous other uses for coppiced wood including hurdles, poles, material for fencing, gates and general building or garden products.
Local area and history

The Ynys-hir RSPB Nature Reserve is situated to the west of the woodland and the Osprey project at Cors Dyfi is to the east.
Michelin starred restaurant Ynyshir is 1 mile away....
