Byrgwm Circular

This is a lovely route leading you up the hill in Brechfa Forest, taking in wonderful woodland scenery along the way.

Brechfa Forest covers 6500 hectares of woodland. This area was once an ancient forest called Glyn Cothi Forest, which became a Royal Forest in 1283 and was heavily used as timber in the Forest World War.

This trail starts from the Byrgwm car park and follows the paths along the hillslope, heading around the hill and eventually to the top.

There are several way-marked mountain biking routes in this area of the forest. Please take particular care on the shared paths.
