Cross Roads Covert is a picturesque woodland located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Situated near the small village of Cross Roads, it covers an area of approximately 100 acres, encompassing a diverse range of flora and fauna.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, such as oak, beech, and ash, which create a dense canopy that provides shelter for numerous woodland creatures. The forest floor is adorned with a vibrant carpet of bluebells, wild garlic, and ferns during the spring season, adding to its natural beauty.

Cross Roads Covert is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. It is home to a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes, which can be spotted and heard throughout the year. The presence of these birds makes it an ideal location for birdwatching.

The woodland also supports a rich diversity of mammals, including badgers, foxes, and deer. These animals can occasionally be observed by visitors, particularly during the early morning or late evening when they are most active.

The covert offers several walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These trails are well-maintained and provide access to the woodland's most scenic spots, including a small stream that meanders through the area.

Cross Roads Covert is a peaceful retreat, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. Its tranquil atmosphere and abundance of wildlife make it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
