Wyddi-goed Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Montgomeryshire, Wales. Spanning over a vast area, it is known for its rich and diverse ecosystem, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers.

The wood is predominantly composed of ancient oak trees, some of which are estimated to be several hundred years old. These majestic trees create a dense canopy, providing shelter to numerous species of birds, insects, and mammals. The woodland floor is adorned with a vibrant undergrowth of ferns, mosses, and wildflowers, adding to its natural beauty.

The wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore the area at their own pace. These pathways lead to hidden glades, babbling brooks, and small waterfalls, providing a tranquil and serene atmosphere. The wood is also home to a variety of wildlife, including foxes, badgers, squirrels, and a wide range of bird species.

Wyddi-goed Wood is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its ecological importance. The wood has been carefully managed to preserve its natural heritage and biodiversity. Conservation efforts include regular tree planting and removal of invasive species to maintain the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

Visitors to Wyddi-goed Wood can immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, enjoy peaceful walks, and witness the wonders of the woodland habitat. The wood offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, inviting visitors to connect with the natural world and appreciate its wonders.

Plas yn Dinas, Llanfechain This is rather an upmarket pub for a small village where the emphasis is on food and the menu is certainly several notches above standard pub grub. The building was originally a courthouse probably dating from the 16th century - the name translates literally into English as 'City Halls'.
