Attractive waterfalls, rapid cascades and deep gorge walls are in the Afon Cynfal gorge , one of the finest gorges in Britain.
The gorge is in the Ceunant Cynfal NNR, one of the six large Meirionnydd Oakwoods in which the trees are predominantly
Sessile Oaks with a few mature beeches and holly, hazel, silver birch, rowan....
Because of their high humidity, the woodlands, some of the best examples of Atlantic Oak Woodland in Europe,
provide the ideal habitat for ferns, lichens and mosses.
