Coed Bodfel is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Caernarfonshire, Wales. Nestled amidst the stunning landscape of Snowdonia National Park, it covers an area of approximately 50 hectares. The woodland is known for its diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike.

The forest is predominantly composed of native trees, including oak, beech, and birch, creating a vibrant and rich canopy. These trees provide a haven for various bird species, such as woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes, which can be heard and spotted throughout the woodland.

Coed Bodfel boasts a network of well-maintained trails and footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the area at their own pace. The paths wind through the forest, offering glimpses of the surrounding meadows and breathtaking views of the nearby mountains. It is a tranquil environment, perfect for those seeking solitude or a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The woodland is also home to a diverse range of wildlife. Red squirrels can be spotted scurrying among the branches, while deer and foxes roam the forest floor. In springtime, the forest floor comes alive with a carpet of bluebells and other wildflowers, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

Coed Bodfel is managed by local conservation organizations, who strive to preserve its natural beauty and protect the delicate ecosystem within. As such, visitors are encouraged to respect and appreciate the woodland, ensuring its preservation for future generations to enjoy.

Road bridge repairs on the A497 This is the main road from Nefyn to Pwllheli, but in January 2019 the bridge over the River Rhyd-Hir became unsafe due to one of the arch pillars collapsing into the river below after being struck by a vehicle. A temporary bailey bridge is being used while discussions continue on how to repair the bridge and possibly provide another wider bridge nearby
