The information board states that Chapel Wood is a small pocket of woodland in the housing area of Llanedeyrn. The name Llanedeyrn is believed to be derived from a 6th century monk and Celtic saint, St Edeyrn. Llan is Welsh for settlement or place of worship. Chapel Wood was probably part of a larger area of woodland that had existed since the 17th century. In the late 1960s a housing area was built on much of the woodland area, leaving only small sections intact. Chapel Wood is part of the Llanedeyrn Woodlands Complex Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.
