Coed y Brenin is well known for it’s mountain biking, but less so for trail running. This is a waymarked trail run of around 7.5km, or you can follow the easier Lonc Sarn Helen if you fancy a 4.5km yomp instead. The annual Wales Trail Marathon is held here, so there’s some good trail running to

I just went for an awesome trail run around the forest today. I followed good footpaths for ages and hadn’t a clue where I was until I hit the Lon Las Cefni that I’d biked before and then onto the Anglesey Coastal Path. It’s a great place to spend a few hours, and get somewhat
