In a nutshell. Coed y Brenin Forest Park is the ultimate all-action forest. The walkers came first. Then – and this is what really put the forest on the map – the mountain bikers arrived. It’s now a fully fledged activity centre, with an attractive, modern visitor centre, café, bike shop, children’s play areas, high ropes adventure, geocaching, facilities for visitors with disabilities – and miles and miles of walking and biking trails for everyone from families to muddy MB enthusiasts.

Why go? If you’re into the outdoors you’d be daft not to.
