Coetiroedd Cwm Elan/ Elan Valley Woodlands SAC

The Elan Valley Woodlands SAC is comprised of a series of ancient woodlands in central Powys. Most of the woodland is western acidic oak woodland, but there are also examples of ash woodland on base-rich soils associated with rocky slopes, as well as areas of dry heath. Because of differing historical management, varying topography and underlying geology, a wide range of structural woodland types occurs, from dense closed canopy to open wood pasture with ancient trees, which support a rich invertebrate fauna. The woods support a wide range of mosses, liverworts and lichens and are also notable for their bird-life, particularly migrant songbirds such as pied flycatcher, wood warbler and redstart.
