Cwmyronnen Uchaf

This upland farm provides an unexpected enclave in the middle of the forest. It is approached via the forestry tracks that wind about through the stands of timber. In the distance you can see the hills above Dolgran.

Forestry Junction

This is the junction between several forest tracks. The Forestry Commission spreads plenty of crushed stone on these tracks to accommodate the heavy equipment they use. In the distance a mast is just visible on the skyline.

Forest Track

A track through Brechfa Forest that is not longer much used by the Forestry Commission. The plantations are of coniferous trees like spruce and fir but deciduous trees have managed to establish themselves along the verges of the track. These are mostly hazel, sallow and ash.

Under the Greenwood Tree

At the edge of the forest track, deciduous trees grow. They provide light shade and mosses, ferns and a few other plants inhabit the ground below. Deeper into the plantation the coniferous trees cast such deep shade that nothing much grows beneath them.
