Coed yr Adlais, Conwy

Land size
5.25 acres

Description

Adlais means Echo in Welsh. The popular woodland is named after this poem:

'The bridge named Echo — tall and fine

A work of wonder in our time

Did span the Gele Gorge so steep

And through the bridge did patients peep.'

The woodland is in the grounds of the former Abergele chest hospital, now the eye hospital. The bridge is a hidden gem and steeped in history. A contract was awarded to S F Hopley of Prestatyn for the sum of £12,822 in 1925. 'The completed bridge spanned 315 feet in length rising to 96 feet in height above Gele stream. The bridge was named by the resident children as “The Echo Bridge”.

The woodland itself runs adjacent to the Nant Gele stream, and is accessed along a newly refurbished track suitable for cars. To the east is mainly mature larch and coniferous trees whilst the west is a newly replanted coniferous patch. Along the riverside is a mix of Ash, Beech amongst other broadleaves.

The main track is easily accessible, and there are numerous tracks leading through the dense growth that could be opened up. The woodland is full of wildlife, from deer to voles and badgers.

An added bonus to this woodland is the pedestrian access point from above the bridge. This leads to a 'plateau' alongside the public footpath. From here the views across the woodland and over the bridge are magical.
