Forester's Retreat Glamping

Active types can head up into the Cambrian Mountains (half an hour’s drive) for hilly walks and cycle rides, or hike up to Dinas Reservoir (15 minutes’ walk). Feeling like a high-speed challenge? Go bike scrambling at Sweet Lamb Adventure Rally Bike (15 minutes’ drive). Nant-y-Moch Reservoir is a scenic spot for more peaceful strolls in untamed mountain scenery, while the Hafod Estate (both 15 minutes’ drive) has several woodland walks leading to tumbling waterfalls, or you can clamber up stone steps to the viewpoint to see Devil’s Bridge Falls (five minutes) as the water plunges into a gorge. To get acquainted with local wildlife, watch magnificent red kites being fed on carrion at Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (five minutes), or stop off at New Quay Honey Farm (an hour) to see honeybee colonies in action and taste some of their produce. Alternatively, head down the road to visit an old Victorian silver mine at Silver Mountain Experience (five minutes).
