Coed Pen-y-garreg is a picturesque wood located in Flintshire, a county in Wales, United Kingdom. Situated near the village of Pantymwyn, this forested area covers a vast expanse of approximately 160 acres. The name "Coed Pen-y-garreg" translates to "Wood at the Head of the Rock" in English, which is a fitting description as the wood is nestled at the foot of the Clwydian Range and overlooking the village.

The wood is known for its diverse range of tree species, including oak, beech, ash, and birch, creating a rich and vibrant ecosystem. It serves as an important habitat for various wildlife, such as birds, small mammals, and insects. Nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers often visit the wood to catch a glimpse of rare and native species.

Coed Pen-y-garreg offers a network of well-maintained footpaths, making it a popular destination for hikers, walkers, and nature lovers. The paths wind through the wood, providing visitors with tranquil and scenic routes to explore the natural beauty of the area. Spectacular views of the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from certain vantage points within the wood.

The wood is managed by the Forestry Commission, ensuring its protection and preservation for future generations. It also serves as an educational resource, offering opportunities for schools and local community groups to learn about the importance of woodland conservation and sustainable forestry practices.

Coed Pen-y-garreg is not only a haven for wildlife and visitors seeking solace in nature, but it also contributes to the overall charm and natural heritage of Flintshire.
