Welcome
The picnic area at Boncyn Foel Bach is set around the car park and has views south and east over the hills.
This car park is the starting point for a short walk in Clocaenog Forest.
It sets off through an avenue of tall beech trees which pop with colour in spring when their fresh leaves are a lurid green.
In autumn the leaves turn orange before creating a colourful carpet underfoot - great fun for children to crunch through!
Walking trail
The trail is waymarked and starts from the car park.
Boncyn Foel Bach Circular
½ mile/0.8 kilometres, easy
