  • Radyr Woods : Dangerous tree

    A large beech tree has partially collapsed in Radyr Woods, blocking the path, damaging a bridge over the stream and causing the stream to back up. The tree is close to the edge of the grassy area at the Junction Terrace end of the path into the woodland. Please be aware that the remaining tree may be very unstable and we suggest that you do not try to walk around it or through the fallen timber. The land is still in the ownership of Plymouth Estate and clearing will take place on Monday January 16.
