Two blocks of sloping amenity woodland extending in total to approximately 49.12 acres (19.87 hectares), conveniently located to the northwest of Mountain Ash with the land to the west benefiting from an internal tarmacadam access track.

The property may be suitable for a range of uses including amenity, environmental, biodiversity net gain or potential redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents (STP).

The land is situated to the north-west of Mountain Ash (1.2 miles), between Abercynon (3.3 miles) and Aberdare (4.0 miles) and approximately 20 miles north of Cardiff, occupying a semi-rural yet highly accessible position within the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf. The land benefits from good connectivity, with access via the A4109 and convenient links to the A4059 and the A470, which provides a direct route between Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil. The A465 (Heads of the Valleys Road) is also located approximately 2.1 miles away, which connects to the A40 and Junction 43 of the M4, providing further regional access.
