Coed Benarth is a historic woodland located in the county of Caernarfonshire, Wales. Nestled in the scenic countryside, it covers an area of approximately 200 hectares and is renowned for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity.

The woodland consists of a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, including oak, beech, and pine, creating a diverse and picturesque landscape. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, badgers, foxes, and numerous bird species. The tranquil atmosphere and peaceful surroundings make it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers.

Coed Benarth has a long history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Neolithic period. It was once part of the expansive estate owned by the local gentry and was managed for timber production. However, today it is primarily a nature reserve, managed by a conservation organization, with a focus on preserving its ecological value and providing a habitat for wildlife.

The woodland offers a network of well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty and appreciate the natural wonders it holds. These paths wind through the ancient trees, offering glimpses of hidden ponds, babbling brooks, and breathtaking vistas.

Coed Benarth is not only a sanctuary for nature but also holds cultural significance. It has inspired local artists and writers throughout the years, with its enchanting landscapes and timeless beauty. It remains a cherished destination for those seeking solace in nature and a deeper connection to the natural world.

Church Street, Glan Conwy, October 2021 We are left with one shop - the Caffi Llan which opens as well for newspapers, bread and dairy products Monday - Saturday mornings.
There is a hairdressers at the end of the street on the left. A takeaway on the right. On the A470 ahead and to the right is the Cross Keys pub and a Post Office which opens for just a couple of hours a week.
In the distance is a new development of residential properties on the site of the Conwy Vale pub. Some feel the sight of the river etc has been lost, which is true to an extent. Interestingly the new properties are virtually the same height of the former pub.
