Bwlch Nant Yr Arian

Located just off the A44 Near Aberystwth, Bwlch Nant Yr Arian Forest Centre is ideal for those of you that ummm... like walking through forests I suppose.

Seriously if you are anywhere near Aberyswyth then you must call in here especially if you are a nature lover.

This one of the few areas in Wales where you can see the Red Kite feeding over the lake in a wild and wonderful setting within the forest. There is a visitor centre excellent pay and display car parking, a playground for the children and walk trails (one suitable for wheelchairs)with spectacular scenic view points.

If you are feeling a little bit hungry after all that walking, just down the road

you will find The Red Kite Cafe, a "family friendly" cafe open 7 days a week, and offering a range of home-prepared dishes at reasonable prices.

The cafe is fully licensed too!
