Vron Wood is a west-facing upland oak woodland (300 – 350m elevation) characteristic of the area, with hazel coppice, alder, birch and a little holly and other broadleaves. The trees are well spaced, and ground vegetation is a mixture of grassland and bracken, with virtually no evidence of bramble, making it exceptionally easy to walk around. Views out of the wood are over the surrounding valley of the Afon Tefeidiad / River Teme to the west and south.
It is classified as Ancient & Semi-Natural woodland, and is on the “Priority Habitat – Deciduous Woodland” Inventory.
Access: the access to the woodland gate is over a right of way (at all times, for all purposes, with or without vehicles) along a track through two fields. At the time of visiting (February) it had been raining for months and the ground was waterlogged and muddy: access should be far easier in the spring and summer. By agreement with the landowner, this track could be improved, perhaps with drainage ditches along each sides to make it easier to use all year round. There is a continuation of the track running through the middle of the wood.
Wildlife: In the spring, the wood is alive with the sound of birdlife. While taking photographs for the sales particulars a variety of species were seen or heard. including Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Wren, Blackbird, Robin, Buzzard, Crows, a variety of tits, Jackdaw, and Great Spotted Woodpecker. Shropshire Wildlife Trust have recorded the plant life that occurs within the wood. A long list includes Devil's-bit Scabious, Wood anemone, Marsh-marigold, Meadowsweet, St John's Wort, Yellow Pimpernel, Dog-violet, Betony, Celandine, to name just a few. A full list is available on request
