Coed y Felin is a 1.6 hectare woodland near Cilcain village within the Clydian Range.

The site was designed, named and planted with the help of the local community in late 2000 and the trees are establishing very well.

As well as new native woodland you can also find ancient woodland along the northern and southern boundaries.

The site is a long, relatively flat enclosure on the edge of a steep valley and full of wild flowers.

Its most visible inhabitant (aside from the trees) are the bluebells, which carpet the forest floor here in spring.

The pied flycatcher is also a noted visitor to the reserve, nesting here after migrating from Africa.

Mammals such as otters, badgers and foxes frequent the woods, and the trees themselves are of interest, with the rare black poplar being reintroduced to the wood.
