About Riverside Walk
A gentle riverside walk from the car park, through mixed woodland, filled with the scent of resin and the sound of running water. It returns along the avenue of Copper beech, carpeted with Bluebells each spring and fungi in the autumn.
A wetland area with bright yellow Marsh Marigolds beneath towering Poplars is managed for wildlife conservation.
How to get there:
Riverside Walk can be started from Black Covert Picnic Site in Black Covert. Trawsgoed/Crosswood is the nearest town or village.
Located off the B4340 from Aberystwyth to Trawsgoed. The car park is 1 kilometre south of Abermagwr. Turn right over the bridge (signed Llanilar B4575) then turn immediately left and left again into the car park.
