ディフナントフォレスト周辺のおすすめ犬連れハイキング＆ウォーキング

Lake Vyrnwys straining tower! Lovely place and gives it that fairy tale vibe. One of my special places is Vyrnwy.

The hills of the great Dyfnant Forest were once rode by Welsh hero Owain Glyndŵr, who led the rebellion against English rule in Wales during the 15th century. Today, the woodland is still enjoyed by those on horseback, as well as hikers on the Glyndŵr’s Way long-distance trail. The coniferous woodland here is part of the National Forest for Wales project.

Llanwddyn is a small village beneath the Llanwddyn Dam on Lake Vyrnwy. The original village was flooded when the reservoir was created in the 1880s. There are a couple of accommodation options in the surroundings: the beautifully situated Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and Spa to the north-east and the Lake Vyrnwy campsite to the east.

The RSPB centre keeps a board of all the recent birds sighted in the area.

This is a safe little pebble beach for your dog to go and have a swim.

Gorgeous area. Be aware the road/trail on the south side (including access to/from Llanymawddwy) are currently closed due to damage from storm Darragh. See https://www.hdcymru.co.uk/our-visitor-sites/lake-vyrnwy/storm-darragh/ for more details.

Felled Then Sculpted into a hand in legacy of the once was the tallest tree in the UK! Stood at then 147m in all her glory unfortunately from a storm in 2010. Where March 2011 they had stumped it to 50m then autumn 2011 the awesome absolutely incredible sculpture of a hand represents storm had damaged the actual douglas fur that bad that it had to be felled at 50m for safety of numerous accounts in that area as the devastation if left to fall on its own I imagine that it would have and could have been catastrophic and unbelievable to even think on, as it would no doubt have touched the lake itself if was left and In process ripping down many of the surrounding small giants that grew in that part of the forest. I would have loved to have seen what the actual tree looked like in all her prime of height but ive not managed to find anything yet my search continues 2years on. I felt a huge hit of the most hardcore feeling of emotion. I felt a sense of link and connection with the whole ethos in the giants and the trail that’s left still today, I’ve never looked at a single tree in the same ever since. Please everyone take extra care whilst you’re here as there’s been issues recently with vandalism and even cutting the surrounding areas illegally that is a protected area and it’s not a place that usually has fallen into a victim of crimes but it is and it has rubbish is to be taken home

There is a little cafe above the main car park for a coffee and cake after the "gift shop" labelled walks. As usual, Komoot makes the walk easier than using signposts - remember to download to the phone app. Kayaking/canoeing around the lake is only possible for about half of it due to a protected bird sanctuary.
