Coed Alltfedw is a picturesque woodland located in Cardiganshire, Wales. Spread across an area of approximately 200 acres, it serves as a haven of natural beauty and tranquility for both locals and tourists alike. The woodland is characterized by its dense, lush vegetation comprising a variety of tree species, including oak, ash, beech, and conifers.

The forest boasts an abundance of wildlife, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts. Visitors may have the opportunity to spot a diverse range of creatures, such as red kites, buzzards, badgers, and even the elusive otter along the nearby riverbanks. The presence of a small pond within the woodland further adds to its ecological diversity, attracting various species of amphibians and insects.

Coed Alltfedw offers a network of well-maintained footpaths that wind through its scenic trails, providing ample opportunities for hiking and exploring. The paths take visitors through enchanting groves, sun-dappled clearings, and babbling streams, creating a truly immersive experience in nature.
