.

Pen y Lan wood stands in the beautiful Welsh Marches and would have been well trodden and documented by the Victorian diarist, Francis Kilvert, curate of Clyro in the 1860s. It overlooks the River Wye, being only a mile away from the busy and popular market town of Hay on Wye. The property comprises 18.53 acres of sloping and undulating land, well stocked with a variety of both mature, commercial conifers and native broadleaf tree species. A felling licence is in place for trees on the southern side of Clyro Brook and a new owner would have the option of thinning or felling this area and to thin or fell trees north of the brook, (subject to an additional licence). Replenishing the tree stock could be achieved by natural regeneration or by replanting with broadleaves or conifers. Pen y Lan wood benefits from direct access from the council road.
