Coed Pen y Pigyn
Pen Y Pigyn Wood is set in the Dee Valley, close to Corwen town centre. You can park in the main car park and follow the footpath past the church and into the oak woodland.
Here you’ll find the Gorsedd stone circle erected for the National Eisteddfod in 1919. As you continue through the woodland, you’ll find animal sculptures and, if you’re very lucky, the rare red squirrel. This area is one of the last strongholds of the red squirrel.
There is a viewpoint at the spot where legend says Welsh Prince Owain Glyndwr hurled his dagger from the hillside and left an outline in the rock below. Today, the stone serves as a lintel above the south doorway of Corwen church.
Coed Pen y Pigyn offers a lovely day out in North Wales…
