Hafren Forest, nestled in the scenic heart of Mid Wales, offers a truly delightful experience for walkers and nature enthusiasts alike. This extensive conifer forest, managed by Natural Resources Wales, is perhaps most famous as the source of the River Severn (Afon Hafren in Welsh), the longest river in Great Britain. A hike here promises a refreshing escape into verdant landscapes, with the gentle murmur of water and the rustle of leaves as your soundtrack. An experienced and first aid-qualified individual leads this hike; this walk is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors and want to enjoy in good company.
