Coed Cefn is an ancient woodland with a rich historical past: there is an iron age hillfort in the centre and a few non-native conifers remain hinting at the woodland's past extensive planting. Visit for a circular woodland walk with beautiful views out to the surrounding countryside and for fantastic displays of bluebells in April and May.
