Brechfa Forest
Picnic Location
The peace that falls on a forest in winter along with the mist, moss and shards of winter sun through densely packed trees make for a magical picnic. Brechfa is a large area of mostly coniferous forest with picnic tables and waymarked trails for winter wanderings. Don't miss the Forest Garden Trail to spot giant redwoods, eucalyptus sessile oak and walnut.
Picnic tip: Pine needles gathered together make for super soft makeshift table and chairs when spread with a blanket or sheet. Take the kids and hunt for fairies in the forest. The towering pines springing from alpine slopes and the natural outward bound terrain both make for invigorating explorations.
How to reach: The Abergorlech Picnic Site is set in Brechfa. Abergorlech is a small village and friendly community who welcome all visitors. Find it next to Brechfa Forest on the B4310.
