Allt Pen-lan offers a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore the forest at their own pace. The paths offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, with glimpses of nearby streams and valleys.

The forest is managed by a local conservation organization, which ensures the protection and preservation of its natural beauty. They organize regular guided walks and educational programs, allowing visitors to learn about the rich history and ecology of the woodland.

Anglers by the River Teifi, Llechryd The River Teifi is the longest river which is wholly in Wales and flows 75 miles from its source in the Cambrian mountains to its estuary at Cardigan. It is tidal up to Llechryd. In this view it is flowing from right to left. Salmon and Sea Trout (Sewin) are fished here. The viewpoint is in Pembrokeshire and the far bank in Ceredigion; the river being the boundary between these two counties at this point.

Kilgerran railway station (site), Pembrokeshire Opened in 1886 by the Whitland and Taf Vale Railway, later part of the Great Western Railway, on the line from Whitland to Cardigan, this station closed to passengers in 1962 and completely in 1963. View north east at the site. A steep path led up to the station building, now replaced by a small housing estate. The abutment which carried the former railway bridge left to right over the road is however still clearly visible, on the left of the image. Note the station was always "Kilgerran" whereas the village is "Cilgerran".
