The Oak woodland of Cwm Clydach on the Gower, grows on steep slopes alongside a deep river gorge. It is the largest and most representative area of native beech wood in South East Wales, and also has birch, ash and alder. Slopes above the woodland have areas of heather and bracken. The river has cut deep into the valley forming steep cliffs, and spectacular waterfalls. The air is humid close to the fast moving river, and many species of moss can be found growing here. Clinging precariously to the cliffs are yew and whitebeam trees. Ground plants are relatively sparse, especially in the shade under the beech trees. The reserve is home to a good variety of woodland birds.
