Cors Gwyddau is mostly a meadowland, but each of the two sections are bordered with hedge row and trees. There are oak, willow and beech amongst others in these areas.

During our work in the woodland we have been lucky enough to see Red Deer grazing outside our tents in the early morning. There are also a few badger dens, some old and some active.

Spring and summer sees numerous butterflies and insects.

The birdlife is diverse, from Canadian Geese nesting on the lake, to large buzzards and kites circling overhead. The woodland and fields are full of life the whole year round.

Though small and freshly cleaned, the pond has some really interesting plants in it, the spring will bring colour. There's also a variety of amphibian life; this guide from the Amphibian and Reptile Trust will be of interest!

Cors Gwyddau is a mostly flat meadowland. Its southern boundary is a marshy area rich in insect life. It has a newly dug out pond next to a slightly raised area, perfect for camping.

The boundaries are clearly marked in Aqua Marine. The boundary on the south and west are the centre of the water course.

Cors Gwyddau is accessed along the main track into the woodlands, to the west of the first parking area. Follow this track along and then take the first fork left where you will see two gates, one for Pwll Y Bedol and the left hand one for Cors Gwyddau.

Inside the gate there is a flat area suitable for a vehicle.

The two areas of Cors Gwyddau are accessed along this boundary.

There are no public footpaths on this land, just tracks where animals have grazed over the years.

There is a second entrance gate to Cors Gwyddau on the main entrance track off the road. This is a locked gate, the key will be available upon purchase.

This area is right on the edge of the Cambrian mountains and isn't too far from Llyn Vyrnwy. The 6000 acre Dyfnant Forest (described by Lonely Planet as being "where a well-signposted maze of forestry tracks culminates in one enormous hill before descending rather spectacularly toward Lake Vyrnwy").

Standing at 335m behind the meadows and woodlands is the hill, Moel Bentyrch. Here you will find the old settlement of Pen y Bwlch (Top of the Pass) a testament to a much older community in this area.

Locally the area is steeped in drover and farming history. Nearby is St Erfyl's church, named after Erfyl, rebuilt in 1870. It contains the remnants of a 15th-century shrine.
