About Hafod
In the late eighteenth century, the Hafod Estate was designed in the ‘Picturesque’ style by Thomas Johnes (1748-1816) and became an essential destination for visitors touring Wales in search of ‘wild nature’. The paths, views, gardens and mansion were the subject of numerous contemporary accounts.
Today the mansion has gone and Hafod lies within a working forest. Managed by Forestry Commission Wales, in partnership with the Hafod Trust, the estate is managed to conserve and restore the historic landscape, protect its important habitats, and provide access and enjoyment for walkers by recreating Johnes’s path network.
Take in the dramatic woodlands walks, waterfalls and views at Hafod.
