Hiking
This expansive forest is a treasure trove of walking and cycling trails, photographic opportunities and wildlife in the heart of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia).
You can enjoy breathtaking views of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), picnic by the secluded lake Llyn Llywelyn and listen to the sound of the trains from the Old Welsh Highland Railway, which run through the forest on their way from Caernarfon to Porthmadog.
You can also go horse riding.
