Nercwys
 

Nercwys is a coniferous woodland planted through the late 1950s and early 1960s. Parts of the area have been felled and replanted with a variety of conifer species. This has provided an excellent habitat for wildlife especially nightjars which have flourished in this area. Other wildlife such as Buzzards, Gold Crest and Coal Tits can be spotted. The area is relatively flat and a good road and ride network allows access throughout on foot, horseback or bicycle.

How to get there:

Nercwys is part of Clwyd. Mold is the nearest town or village.

From the A494 west of Mold at the Village of Gwernymynydd, take Ffordd Glyndwr (from near Yr Enfys public house) and head south. At the first cross roads go straight across onto Ffordd Cae Newydd. This brings you to the north-eastern corner of the woodland and a slate sign for the "Millennium Oak Trees". Take the right turn at this point and the car park is on the right after 150m.
