About the trail

This pilot section of the Llwybr Coedwig Cymru Trail is the first step its wider development across Wales – an ambitious project to develop a forest Trail that connects our National Forest Sites throughout Wales.

This trail follows existing Rights of Way Networks and provides a range of perspectives of our woodlands and trees, from being under tree canopy cover to awe inspiring views of our forestry landscapes.

Further work will be undertaken to develop the trail and we will continue to update this website.
