Coed Nercwys Forest
Highlight • Trail
There's nothing remotely technical here; the main trail through the forest is mostly asphalt, but the others are dirt, so they can get a little muddy.
If you care to explore a little, you might find Bronze Age burials mounds and ancient mines, or nightjars, long-eared owls or great crested newts.
