About

Coed y Brenin Forest Park is a beautiful woodland escape situated within the heart of Snowdonia National Park, just south of the town of Dolgellau and north of the village of Trawsfynydd. Managed by Natural Resources Wales, the park offers a mosaic of ancient oak glades, spruce plantations and wide river valleys that invite walkers, cyclists, families and nature enthusiasts to explore its 3,000 acres of mixed forest. A network of well-marked trails meanders from the scenic Coed y Brenin visitor centre to secret glens, providing opportunities for leisurely strolls, wildlife spotting and panoramic views overlooking the surrounding hills. In addition to active recreation, the forest is home to a diverse array of fauna, from vibrant birdlife to woodland mammals, making it an ideal spot for both casual outdoor fans and avid hikers. Whether you plan a half‑day walk or a full day of exploration, Coed y Brenin promises an enriching experience amid the rugged beauty of North Wales.
