The wood is also intersected by a small river, which adds to the charm and provides opportunities for peaceful picnics or paddling in the shallow waters.

The forest is easily accessible, with ample parking and well-marked entrances. It is a popular spot for families, dog walkers, and nature photographers, as it offers a serene and photogenic backdrop for capturing the beauty of the Welsh countryside.
