Forest of Dreams
Coedwig y Breuddwydion
​
An eye that can see nature
A heart that can feel nature
And a boldness that dare follow it
Ancient Welsh Triads
​
There is a spectacular and delightfully hidden valley deep in the ancient land of Cymru.
Wonderfully secluded, the land combines a rare mixture of diverse and rich habitats: wild wooded gorges, two rivers, sheltered meadows, heather and bilberry moor, spectacular rockface and scree, slopes, sylvan nooks, high waterfalls, rock-pools and streams and a small seasonal encampment tucked away among the trees; the summer home of Spirit Horse Foundation since 1990 and before that a regular camping ground for Forest School Camps and other educational groups. Visitors to the valley all attest to the idyllic nature of the place.
​
All agree that the land is perfectly suited as a magnificent wildlife and wild wood sanctuary left largely to itself, but also managed in a sensitive way. And to continue to allow groups such as Spirit Horse Foundation to use the land for retreats and workshops.
Experts within the field of conservation and ecology have stated that The Forest of Dreams is a very unusual project in that we are buying land to let it go WILD!
​
There is no longer any farming on the land. The livestock, which once grazed there have been relocated, and the land is now slowly returning to the original face of nature.
The Forest of Dreams was conceived in 2002, by a group of people inspired to return this unique piece of land to the wild and to protect it for all future generations. A registered charity was set up with the aim of buying an area of the land , and to allow it to naturally return to the wild. After eleven years of fundraising and hard work, the charity finally completed the purchase of the land. The fundraising focus of the Forest of Dreams will now be to raise funds towards the annual costs of managing the land for all future generations.
Our Vision ...
.... is to return these few hundred acres to the wild and preserve them as such for all future generations.
​
The Forest of Dreams Ltd is a charity set up to purchase, manage and protect in perpetuity,
a beautiful area of land suited to being left wild as a place of sanctuary.

Mae’r tir yn dal i fynd yn ôl i’i wyneb wreiddiol! Mae cannoedd o goed ifainc i’w gweld ledled y dyffryn, wedi’u gosod yn naturiol. Mae derw ifainc yn ymddangos yn rhedyn y llechweddau uwch. Mae popeth yn addawol a chalonogol!
​
Wnaethon ni ddarganfod blodau newydd a choed yn lleoliadau newydd, erioed wedi’u gweld o’r blaen. Eleni, roedd ein gweithgareddau yn gyfangedig, wrth gwrs, ond edrychen ymlaen at ryfeddodau newydd yn y gwanwyn y daw.
​
Mae ymroddiad ein cefnogwyr dros y 15 mlynedd diweddar yn cael ei wobrwyo! Parheuwch i’n cefnogi, os gwelwch chi’n dda.
