Coed Gwalch y Pysgod, Machynlleth, Ceredigion
- Land size
- 12.5 acres
Description
Coed Gwalch y Pysgod is named for the local ospreys, nurtured at the Cors Dyfi Osprey project which is located close by, just to the north of the woodland. These mighty migratory sea birds are large fish eating birds of prey, and are now recovering numbers due to the efforts of places like Cors Dyfi and being protected by law.
Within the woodland itself, smaller and more everyday birdlife also throngs, due in part no doubt to the wetland habitat, and the fairly large pond, encouraging insect life. The water table in the wood varies, seasonally and with weather conditions, and the area can be subject to very high super spring tides, but only on extremely rare occasions.
Tree growth within the woodland is dense in parts, with many multi stemmed hazel, birch and alder. Open areas within the woodland are filled with bulrush, indicative of the varying water levels.
In the south eastern sector the remains of an old field boundary crossing the woodland has characterful gnarly oaks growing, once part of a hedgerow, while underfoot the woodland floor is thick with fern.
Grass rides, solidly built over a stone base, form the southern and eastern boundaries of Coed Gwalch y Pysgod. Open to the sun, wildflowers thrive the length and breadth of these, lovely to see and great for the biodiversity of the woodland. The ride along the eastern boundary is for Gwalch y Pysgod's sole use and ends in a grassy clearing three quarters of the way into the woodland, perfect for camping or parking up a camper van.
