The new Bow Street interchange I find it very convenient as it is just a short drive from my house, but generally, the current lack of use does cause one to question the expenditure on the development. Maybe usage will increase when normality returns after covid. — The new Bow Street interchange Credit: John Lucas

Coed Porthangel is a picturesque woodland located in Cardiganshire, Wales. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a stunning example of natural beauty and tranquility. The woodland is characterized by its dense canopy of trees, including oak, beech, and pine, which provide a haven for a diverse range of flora and fauna.

The forest has a rich history dating back centuries, with evidence of human presence and activities from ancient times. It is believed that the woodland was once used for timber production and charcoal burning, as remnants of old sawpits and charcoal platforms can still be seen today.

Coed Porthangel offers visitors a range of recreational activities and amenities. There are well-maintained walking trails that wind through the forest, allowing visitors to explore the beauty of the woodland and discover its hidden gems. The trails are suitable for all levels of fitness and provide breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The woodland is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, badgers, and a wide array of bird species. Birdwatchers will be particularly delighted by the chance to spot various woodland birds, such as woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes.

Coed Porthangel is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Its natural beauty and serene atmosphere make it the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse oneself in the wonders of the Welsh countryside.
