Pengelli National Nature Reserve

Pengelli National Nature Reserve is part of the largest block of ancient oak woodland in West Wales.

Species found in this rich woodland include badgers, polecats and the elusive dormouse.

[1] The woodland was owned during Elizabethan times by the Pembrokeshire historian George Owen of Henllys.

In 2021, the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (WTSWW) purchased the adjacent 33-acre Pencnwc Mawr Wood.

A further 13 acres of adjacent land was purchased by WTSWW in 2023 with the intention of expanding the woodland.
