The woodland once formed part of Penmaen House farm and much of it was planted in the 19th century by the farm's owner, Roger Lewis. By the 1970s only the present area remained in a deteriorated state.In 2007, with the aid of various grants, the area was improved mainly by thinning non native trees, planting many native saplings, laying a meandering path and constructing new gates. The garden was officially opened in 2008, and has since won various 'green' awards.
