Clappers Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Monmouthshire, Wales. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The wood is situated in the eastern part of Monmouthshire, near the village of Shirenewton.

Clappers Wood boasts a diverse range of plant and animal species, making it a haven for biodiversity. The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash. The dense canopy provides a cool and shaded environment, perfect for a leisurely walk or hike.

The wood is crisscrossed with well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths lead to several points of interest, such as a tranquil pond and a small stream that meanders through the wood. The sound of running water adds to the serene ambiance of the surroundings.

Wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted to spot various species of birds, such as woodpeckers, song thrushes, and tawny owls, amongst others. Additionally, the wood is home to numerous mammals, including deer, foxes, and badgers. It is not uncommon to catch a glimpse of these creatures during a visit to Clappers Wood.

The wood is open to the public throughout the year and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
