Tynbedw Forest Walk Route #2

Tynbedw is a Forestry Commission picnic site by the river Ystwyth. Our route follows a small road and a riverside path along the flood plain of the River Ystwyth SSSI. The bare shingle has interesting invertebrates, and the more stable areas of shingle heath are dominated by mosses, liverworts and lichens, including a number of nationally rare species. The walk then uses forest paths,often beside attractive streams, returning along forest roads (both options) and scenic field paths (Standard Route only).
