Coed Cae-geifr is a picturesque woodland located in Caernarfonshire, a county in northwestern Wales. Spanning over an area of approximately 200 acres, this enchanting forest is nestled amidst the stunning Snowdonia National Park and offers an idyllic retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.

The forest's name, "Coed Cae-geifr," translates to "Wood of the Goat Field" in English. It is believed that the name stems from the presence of wild goats that once roamed the area. Today, however, the woodland is more known for its diverse flora and fauna.

These trees create a dense canopy that provides a habitat for an array of wildlife, such as birds, butterflies, and small mammals.

Coed Cae-geifr is also home to a number of historical sites and landmarks. Ruins of old stone structures can be found scattered throughout the forest, serving as a reminder of its past. The woodland is steeped in local folklore and legends, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the area.

Visitors to Coed Cae-geifr can enjoy a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, wildlife spotting, and photography. The forest offers a tranquil and serene atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those seeking solace in nature.

Footpath Starts Well Our footpath started well on our route from the north towards the Caernarvon Fundamental Benchmark however we were soon in trouble when it became badly overgrown and a detour was required. It all looked so easy on the map.
