The spectacular landscape of the Dyfi Forest is well worth exploring. Rugged peaks loom above the forested hillsides that are dotted with atmospheric ruins and slate spoil heaps. Fast flowing mountain streams cascade down rocky valleys, edged by old moss-covered oaks. It includes part of the Dyfi Estuary, Ynyslas dunes and Cors Fochno. Visitors can walk on a boardwalk over the dunes or take a circular route across Cors Fochno, one of the largest and finest examples of a raised peat bog in Britain. Facilities include Ynyslas visitor centre, interactive displays, a marine aquarium, shop and toilets. The spectacular landscape of the Dyfi Forest is well worth exploring.
