Monmouthshire, Wales

Lot 1: Ferny Bank
Comprises areas of re-planting (c.2021) in individual tubes adjacent to the stream and a separate area of replanting in spirals/canes within a deer fence; recent broadleaved planting (c.15 years old), within areas of existing young woodland including cypressus species and natural regeneration; mixed conifers (an area of Scots and Corsican pine at the highest point of the wood); mature poplars at edge of the streamside woodland and; at the north west corner of the wood, adjacent to Cae Robin Wood, wet native broadleaved woodland. Collectively these areas comprise a mix of Restored Ancient Woodlands and small areas of Plantations on Ancient Woodlands.

The areas of greatest biodiversity are the woods
adjacent to the neighbouring Cae Robin Wood (not
part of sale) and the springs – here there are attractive streams, minimally managed woods and open ground that is laden with wild garlic and profuse in bluebells.

There is an area of hardstanding off the public road which is suitable for 2-3 cars.
