Coed Hafod Walk
The Coed Hafod Walk passes through different woodland types, supporting a great variety of wildlife. In spring it is colourful with bluebells and azaleas. Its topography is relatively gentle, but the views from it to the distant river, the mansion field and pond, and to the distant hills are very fine and give a sense of discovering the landscape anew.
It is not a circular route and walkers wishing to return to their starting place must decide on a route using other walks or estate drives.
