Could there be a more perfect place in Wales to own a slice of glorious countryside than at the base of the magnificent Mount Snowdon?
As the lower slopes of Wales' highest mountain fade into the hedgerows, fields and woodland below, nestled into approximately 14 acres of this truly stunning landscape is the ancient woodland called Coed Hen Doeth.
This pocket of perfect countryside is a privately-owned plot within Coed Victoria, a larger and surrounding woodland of about 31 acres.

Oliver Thompson, forestry sales agent for John Clegg & Co, says: "With demand outstripping supply for small mixed woodlands, Coed Hen Doeth offers a rare opportunity to own a secluded ancient woodland with an onsite workshop on the lower slopes of the world-renowned Mount Snowdon.
"We expect to see interest from buyers who are looking for a change of lifestyle or to make a longer-term green investment."
The woodland site is located on the edge of the popular village of Llanberis, almost always welcoming visits to the mountain range and national park as a base for visiting, exploring and participating in the outdoor activities the area offers.
And now this parcel of land within Snowdonia National Park can become your perfect, daytime woodland retreat, offering private woodand walks and paddling in the stream and endless peaceful picnics.
There's also the chance to practise your woodworking skills because aside from the tranquillity and location, the main feature of Coed Hen Doeth is the workshop and day shelter.
The eco-structure is completely self-sufficient with solar panels and a hydro-electric generator which is powered year-round by the stream running through the woodland.
It can be your daytime retreat in Snowdonia, but not your forever, full-time dream home.
As well as a workbench, the cabin has a log-burning stove and an open working area. A living roof adds character to the cabin and allows it to blend into the landscape with minimal impact.
The planning permission for the workshop/cabin (reference:NP3/15/124L) has been granted by the Snowdonia National Parks Authority on a temporary but rolling five-year basis. This needs to by renewed by March 1, 2023.
The planning permission is granted for a forestry and woodland workshop only, so no long weekends or holidays are allowed inside the structure.
The site also has a well-constructed stone track from the public road, which allows access to vehicles and has parking for several cars. It will also support timber extraction by heavy plant.
The woodland is a mixture of mature European and Japanese larch and Sessile oak on the upper slopes.
This area of oak is designated as Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW) and is protected under a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
The small area of larch has an agreed felling licence that will allow any new owner to restructure the woodland and restore it back to native broadleaves.
The woodland is accessed via a good stone track from the public road right into the property.
Within the woodland, according to the agent, there is well constructed hardstanding that allows access to vehicles and has parking for several cars.
It is also said to be able to support timber extraction by heavy plant.
The sporting rights are owned and included in the sale, which is freehold by private treaty, but mineral rights are reserved to a previous owner.
Coed Hen Doeth is on the market for £165,000 with agents John Clegg & Co, call them on 01844 291384 to find out more about this precious parcel of Snowdon that could be yours to love and look after for future generations.
