Coed Cilygroeslwyd Nature Reserve

UK Wildlife Trusts

Coed Cilygroeslwyd Nature Reserve, established in 1964 by the North Wales Wildlife Trust, features a unique mixed-broadleaf and yew woodland situated on limestone pavement. This habitat supports a diverse array of flora, including wood anemone, sweet woodruff, and the rare limestone woundwort, Denbighshire's county flower. The reserve is notable for its yew trees, which are a winter food source for hawfinches, making it the only yew woodland of its kind in Clwyd. Visitors can expect to see a variety of bird species, particularly in February when activity peaks, especially around 16:00. Look out for hawfinches at dawn in March, and keep an eye out for Eurasian collared-doves and starlings during the same month. Other highlights include barn owls in April and Eurasian treecreepers in January, making each season a rewarding time to explore the reserve.
