Tir-mawr Wood is a picturesque forest located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Covering an area of approximately 200 acres, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the stunning Welsh countryside.

The wood is primarily composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. Walking through the forest, visitors are greeted by a lush carpet of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. The canopy of the trees provides shade and shelter, making it an ideal habitat for a variety of birds, insects, and small mammals.

Tir-mawr Wood offers several well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths wind through the forest, providing glimpses of hidden glades, babbling brooks, and ancient stone walls that are remnants of its rich history. 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. Whether it's for a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, or simply escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life, Tir-mawr Wood is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a peaceful and enchanting woodland experience.
