About
If you're looking for ancient oak woodland with stunning old trees, wood pasture and moorland, then Carngafallt is the perfect place to visit. Celtic rainforests like Carngafallt are globally significant for lichens, and Carngafallt doesn't disappoint.
Lichens and bryophtyes cloak the woodland in shades of soothing green, woodland birds fill the air with a dawn chorus and Red Kites soar effortlessly above. Look out for Witches Beard or Usnea florida, with its tangled tresses and ‘eyes’.
