THE AREA

The property is situated on the edge of Brechfa Forest which has a rich and varied history. It was originally part of an ancient forest that covered much of Wales and provided a habitat for wildlife. During the medieval period it was used for timber and as a royal hunting ground. By the 19th Century much of the woodland was used for grazing and small-scale farming leading to a significant reduction in forested areas. By the 20th Century The Forestry Commission began replanting in Brechfa Forest and it became part of a broader effort to create timber reserves and support the local economy. During World War II timber from Brechfa was used for the war effort.

Today Brechfa Forest covers 6500 hectares and is managed by Natural Resources Wales. It is a popular destination for outdoor activities including mountain biking, hiking and wildlife watching. The forest is divided into several sections, each offering different trails and facilities.
