Hafren Forest

Hafren Forest (Welsh: Coedwig Hafren) is a wooded area north-west of the ancient market town of Llanidloes, Mid Wales.

The forest covers around 40 square kilometres (15 square miles), and consists mainly of pine and spruce trees. It takes its name from the Afon Hafren (Welsh for 'River Severn') which rises in a deep peat bog approximately 800 metres (0.5 miles) outside western boundary of the forest, high on the slopes of Pumlumon, the highest mountain in Mid Wales.
