An Ancient Woodland Coed Pen y Pigyn has been recorded as a woodland site since the 1600’s, which is very unusual for an oak forest so far inland in Wales. The site is steeped in Welsh history and legend. At its base stands the Church of St Mael and St Sulien dating back to the early medieval period and high above the town stands Glyndŵr's Seat said to be the site where the Welsh Hero, Owain Glyndŵr threw his dagger down in anger at the men of Edeyrnion.
