It took thousands of years for the landscape of Wales to recover after the last Ice Age, around 11,500 years ago. In time a seamless forest extended over most of uplands Wales, much of which was later cleared by human communities.
This is a survivor of this ancient forest, with oaks that are hundreds of years old.
Look out for this ancient wood’s remarkable mix of plants. Old trees and the wood’s rocky outcrops are covered with close to 400 species of lichen alone.
Just a few hundred yards above the wood stands one of Wales’ best-known ancient sites, the Neolithic or New Stone Age burial chamber of Pentre Ifan.
