At the source of the River Severn in Powys, Mid Wales, the dog-friendly Hafren Forest offers a number of walks including an accessible riverside boardwalk to a viewing platform over tumbling cascades. Wildflower meadows, tall conifers, butterflies and ospreys add to its appeal.
Dyfi Forest tracks thread through a vast mix of woodland and water, with mountain‑bike routes twisting between trees and gentler paths, leading out toward the dune‑edged estuary shores of the river Dyfi, where curlews and oystercatchers can be spotted.
