The woodlands provide a habitat for a range of wildlife, such as red kites, buzzards, and otters. The stream itself is known for its population of brown trout, making it a favorite spot for fishing enthusiasts.

Visitors to Cwm Ffrwd can enjoy the tranquility of the valley by taking leisurely walks along the well-maintained footpaths that crisscross the landscape. The valley also offers opportunities for outdoor activities like camping, picnicking, and birdwatching.

Another Hidden Yew Tucked away in the corner of the churchyard at Llanfihangel is this jumble of weeds, briar, Ivy and general rubbish that actually hides the Churches biggest asset in its Old Yew Tree. Its central core now rotted the living parts of the remaining tree now give the illusion of there being two Trees rather than the split single tree.
