Gwydir Forest Park forms part of the National Forest for Wales. Lies in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park and encircles the village of Betws-y-Coed.
Lead and zinc mining once dominated the area and the legacy of old engine houses, waste tips and reservoirs are characteristic features of the forest landscape today.
