Dyfnant Forest

It is described by Lonely Planet as being "where a well-signposted maze of forestry tracks culminates in one enormous hill before descending rather spectacularly toward Lake Vyrnwy" (five miles away).

[1] Dyfnant Forest has an area of 2,430 hectares (6,000 acres) located at the periphery of the Cambrian Mountains, just south of Lake Vyrnwy.

[2] Within the forest, Dyfnant Meadows spread over a small area of 9.5 hectares (23 acres), which is mainly an open land.

[5] A wind farm to produce 80–120 megawatts of power has been proposed in the Dyfnant Forest[7] provoking local controversy due to its incompatibility with the development of the trails for riding, carriage driving etc.

Severn Trent Water Company has the responsibility of managing the forest, interacting with the Countryside Council for Wales and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and the task of preserving these forests along with the Vyrnwy estate, as a national nature reserve.
