Activities Around The Gwydyr Forest

 

The Gwydyr Forest, set in the Snowdonia National Park, is home to some of the most celebrated scenery of forestry, lakes and mountains. Its enchanting community Betws-Y-Coed is in fact the outdoors capital of North Wales. Here you can walk, climb, cycle and even face adventure courses, high among the trees.

One of the area’s most famous biking routes is the Marin Trail. Don’t be fooled by its attraction though, this 25km long track is famous for its tough climbs but exhilarating descents. With a red trail grade, it’s not a route for the faint hearted but a thrilling experience for experienced mountain bikers. Though it’s a long track you can always cut it short, but you certainly don’t want to miss out on the breathtaking views the whole journey offers, over mountains, trees and lakes. With smooth open paths to rough and rocky single tracks, some areas of the route can be more rewarding to different riders but time and time again the final descent is said to have riders grinning from ear to ear.
