I had the opportunity to visit this lovely park that sits right off the A44, about a 25-minute drive from Aberystwyth, Wales. This expansive location offers several hiking and mountain biking trails and a daily feeding of their large red kite population. Unfortunately, I didn’t make the feeding but will have to return to witness the spectacle. For more information about the park, visit their site HERE.

I think this is a must-see if you are ever in the area. There is ample parking and the trails are well marked and maintained. Stunning views of the surrounding valleys coupled with a very large lake are worth a trip. On the trails through the forest, there are several small waterfalls and lookout points, as well as frequent benches and picnic tables for spots of rest.

We experienced several episodes of drizzle during the hike. Here, a line of rain approaches from the West.
The area was known for lead mining and this stream was central to those efforts
One of the many resting spots along the Miners’ Trail, not a bad view!
