A little known gem.
It’s closer than you think A little south of Snowdonia national park in the Welsh wilderness sits the towering trees of Hafren Forest. It’s here that visitors claim ‘your thoughts drift away to the pine forests of Canada or Alaska’. Wandering along its boardwalk you can admire the River Severn and soak in the sunlight from between the spruce tree branches.
Pass by sheep as you climb to the forest boundary and through moorland to the Severn’s birth place on Pumlumon mountain. It’s on this trail you’ll find the aforementioned remains of a mine and farmstead. If you’re a long distance walker Hafren forest serves as a starting point for a few treks. The Wye Valley walk stretches 136 miles to Chepstow, Severn Way stretches 210 miles to Bristol and the slightly more managable Sarn Sabrina is a 25 mile loop through the forest.
