Dyfi Valley and Biosphere: wildlife, places and walks

Explore the Dyfi Biosphere landscape

The Dyfi Valley crosses county boundaries and brings together an estuary, peatlands, farmland and wooded slopes. Ceredigion's northern edge forms part of this wider landscape, including Ynyslas and Cors Fochno. Explore the places for their habitats and communities, while recognising that the biosphere is a broad area rather than a single visitor attraction.

Places to watch and listen

Ynyslas, Cors Fochno and Ynyshir introduce contrasting habitats. Follow designated visitor routes and use current reserve information to plan where to go and what seasonal wildlife you might encounter.

Industry and imagination

Dyfi Furnace recalls the area's industrial past, while Eglwysfach connects with R. S. Thomas and naturalist William Condry. Nearby Machynlleth adds political and cultural history to a journey around the valley.
