Overview

Our walk today follows a circular route on paths and tracks through Coed y Brenin.  Coed y Brenin, the King’s Forest, covers an area of some 9000 acres around the valleys of the rivers Mawddach, Eden, Gain and Wen. Once part of the Nannau Estate, it was bought by the Forestry Commission in 1922 and much of it planted with fir trees. It was designated a Forest Park in the 1990s because of its outstanding walking and recreational value. Today the forest is criss-crossed with paths, tracks and trails and is popular with walkers and cyclists alike. We'll be taking advantage of some of these routes to explore in the southern area of the Forest.
