Wildlife at Hafren
Powys
Wales
Llanidloes is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: SN857868
 The forest was planted within the upper slopes of Plimlimon SSSI, where the landscape consists of hills and valleys.
The area is a water catchment for the river Severn.
Mammals: In the valley bottoms the streams are regularly visited by otters. We have information about Otter
Birds: Many kinds of small birds can be seen along the streams such as Pied Wagtails, Thrushes and many other passerines.
Ravens are frequently seen in the skies demonstrating their acrobatic abilities by performing their mirror displays during the breeding months.
The area provides some excellent scenery where Buzzards and other Raptors can regularly be seen gliding in the warm thermals, created by the hills and valleys.
How to Get There:
From Llanidloes town centre face the Market Hall from Great Oak Street and take Short Bridge Street directly opposite. Follow the narrow road to Old Hall. The Rhydybenwch picnic site is 6 miles west of Llanidloes. It can also be reached from the northern end of Llyn Clywedog on minor roads.
