About Tynybedw Walk
In places the walk climbs and descends steep rides and tracks of tremendously varied woodlands of conifer and broadleaf. The oldest Douglas Fir trees, through which you climb from the car park, were planted in 1934. Recent forest operations to harvest the valuable, renewable timber resource and to improve the scenic and conservation value of the area, have opened up glorious vistas over the Ystwyth Valley. The trail runs parallel to several fast flowing streams which tumble headlong into the Afon Ystwyth below.
How to get there:
Tynybedw Walk can be started from Tynbedw Picnic Site in Tynybedw. Llanafan is the nearest town or village.
From Aberystwyth follow the B4340 to Trawsgoed. Follow this road through Trawsgoed until the road crosses the Afon Ystwyth and turn immediately left, following the river. The car park and picnic site is on the left a few hundred metres after the sawmill.
