Please be aware of hazards within the woodland when viewing. DESCRIPTION Dolberthog Wood is a well established part of the vista for any traveller heading north into the town of Rhayader. The River Wye underlines the start of the woods and the predominantly Douglas fir crop draws the eye towards the ridge of the Elan Valley. Established in the 1950s and 1960s this broadly coniferous woodland is an excellent offering for those purchasers looking for a more commercial acquisition. The mature element of the wood is clearly visible from the A470 trunk road and comprises Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and western red cedar. There is a small amount of larch scattered amongst the more mainstream crops and even this has reached an impressive size due to the favourable soil conditions and rainfall. Under a now expired felling licence approximately 2.5 hectares (5.43 acres) of the wood has been felled and subsequently replanted. This planting has established well and with further management and respacing shows promise to provide another worthwhile crop. The access for harvesting and management has been proven via the county highway and a high quality internal track makes reaching even the extremities of the wood reasonably simple.
