Autumn-time, thy scenes and shades Are pleasing to the tasteful eye; A line from the poet, John Clare. The soft light and woodland colours make Snowdonia a dream location at this time of year and we do not have to travel far from our home to enjoy this. Our silver birch trees sparkle in the afternoon sunshine and the woodland in the nearby Gwydyr Forest looks sublime. Gwydyr has many marked walking and biking trails and never fails to look beautiful.
