Set in a beautiful location just to the south of Snowdonia National Park, Coed Llyfnant is an unusual, valuable and increasingly rare habitat known as a wet woodland. Its location close to the Dyfi River means it is subject to the very occasional super high spring tide, but more usually the saturation level fluctuates with the season and the weather. There are pockets of higher ground throughout, and former field boundaries which feature as raised banks now, some with the remains of hedgerows on them, now grown on into gnarled and twisty trees. In between, the tree growth is dense and scrubby, predominantly of willow, alder and birch, many multi-stemmed, suited to the wetter environment underfoot.

Amongst the dense growth are clearings filled with rush, and water levels vary enough so that when low, it is quite possible to walk through these rush filled glades.

A grassy ride with a great variety of wildflowers runs along the eastern boundary (right of way over this track is shared with the neighbouring woodland) and at the approximate midway point you will come to the entrance into Coed Llyfnant, on the left hand side, marked with a wooden name board. From here another grassy track takes you into the woodland for approximately 100 yards, culminating in a grassy clearing, perfect for camping or parking up a camper van.

Continuing along the shared access brings you to the northern boundary of the woodland, which looks out over pasture and towards the range of mountains in Snowdonia National Park, a beautiful view. The field boundary is lined with lovely oaks and the forest floor completely filled with ferns throughout this northern sector and it is easy going to walk along the length of the northern boundary. In the northwestern sector, there is a small pond.
