Allt Pen-rhiw is a captivating woodland located in the picturesque county of Pembrokeshire, Wales. The forest is nestled within the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, known for its diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.

Stretching across an area of approximately 100 hectares, Allt Pen-rhiw boasts a rich variety of tree species, making it an enchanting sight for nature enthusiasts. The forest is predominantly composed of native deciduous trees such as oak, ash, and beech, which create a dense canopy overhead, providing a cool and peaceful atmosphere. Underneath this canopy, a lush undergrowth of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers adds a vibrant touch to the woodland floor.

The forest is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths wind through the woodland, offering glimpses of hidden streams and charming wooden bridges along the way. The tranquility of Allt Pen-rhiw is enhanced by the absence of vehicular traffic, ensuring a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The forest is also home to a diverse array of wildlife. Birdwatchers can spot various species including woodpeckers, owls, and warblers, while lucky visitors may catch a glimpse of elusive mammals such as badgers, foxes, and deer.

Allt Pen-rhiw is a true haven for nature lovers and offers a perfect retreat for those seeking solace and serenity amidst the beauty of Pembrokeshire's natural wonders.

Path through woodland in Cwm Gwaun The path here climbs steeply through woodland towards the fields above the valley side. The path seems more used by animals than human feet.

Track towards Penlanisaf Farm The lambs ahead have squeezed under a gate to get at lush grass alongside the track and have been caught out by my arrival on the scene. They ran ahead and eventually ran out of track and had to sprint back past me, leaping, kicking and bucking.

Old railway wagons as sheds at Penlanisaf You don't see as many old railway wagons on farms as you used to. They were common when I was a lad but, like these two examples, are aging fast and being replaced by more purpose designed storage. The old implement is of even greater vintage.

Young cattle show their interest These young cattle were very interested in me, their new two-legged friend, and pursued me down the field to the stile with avid curiosity tempered with very little nervousness.

The Dyffryn Arms Free House, Pontfaen, Cwm Gwaun Proprietor Bessie Davies so the pub, I believe, is often known as Tafarn Bessie and rightly so. A 'parlour inn' summarises the style of service, now a genuine rarity and the interior is a time capsule, with a sepia photograph of Edward VIII as a young Prince of Wales and a portrait of our present Queen as a newly crowned monarch. Bass in jugs, bi-lingual conversations and parking on the road outside. Don't expect gastro-pub lunches.
