Allt Goch is a picturesque woodland located in Cardiganshire, Wales. Situated near the village of Tregaron, it covers an area of approximately 200 acres. The name "Allt Goch" translates to "red cliff" in Welsh, which is derived from the reddish hue of the sandstone cliffs that can be found within the forest.

The woodland is predominantly composed of mixed deciduous trees, including oak, beech, ash, and birch. These trees create a vibrant and diverse ecosystem, providing habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of bluebells during the spring season, creating a stunning display of color.

Allt Goch is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers due to its extensive network of well-maintained trails. These trails offer visitors the opportunity to explore the woodland and discover its hidden gems, such as an ancient stone circle and a small waterfall.

The forest is also home to a variety of wildlife, including red kites, buzzards, badgers, and foxes. Birdwatchers can spot a plethora of avian species, from woodpeckers to warblers, while the lucky visitor may even catch a glimpse of the elusive red squirrel.

Allt Goch is a place of tranquility and natural beauty, offering visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the wonders of the Welsh countryside. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the woods or a more vigorous hike, Allt Goch provides a serene and enchanting experience for all who visit.
