Blackmill Woodlands is a Site of Special Scientific Interest near Blackmill in Bridgend County Borough, south Wales.
The site is an example of old sessile oak woods at the southern extreme of the habitat’s range in Wales, and contributes to representation of the habitat in Wales and in south-west England. The ground flora is restricted by the relative dryness of the site, but the main habitat features of sessile oak canopy - acidic ground flora of bilberry and wavy hair-grass, and moderate fern and bryophyte cover - are present. The woodlands have a long cultural history of management, reflected in the distinctive gnarled appearance of many of the trees.[1]
