Tiny patch of land the size of a tennis court becomes part of Welsh national forest

Dense woodland planted by volunteers two years ago given same status as country's vast forests

It may lack the majesty of the lovely ancient woodlands that cling to the slopes of Wales' highest peaks or tumble into its deep river valleys.

But a small chunk of land in a park in the south Wales seaside town of Barry planted densely with trees has been selected to become part of the country's national forest, a scheme to create a network of woodland running the length and breadth of the country.
