Severn Break Its Neck, Hafran Forest

Hafran Forest Mid Wales is laced with walking trails. Each one better than the last.  Mid August 2022 the weather was blistering hot (80 or 27 depending on how you count it) and the draw of a swimming hole was irresistible. So with two grandkids in tow, we set off on an adventure. This walk is in two halves.  The first is as pretty a walk as you will ever find. The second has THE SWIMMING HOLE. (the caps are warranted.) Severn-Break-Its -Neck Section   Distance: 2 mile loop. Dirt trail and Dirt road, not  wheelchair. Well marked with Yellow trail markers. (Note on my map there are two extra bridges to head back if you need to not complete the whole route.) I am not sure if it is dog friendly, as I was busy wrangling kids. Toilets at the parking/trailhead.  Boardwalk Section   Distance out and back: .75 miles. Paved and Boardwalk.  Wheelchair extra friendly. Dogs OK.  Benches and picnic tables. Wear your bathing suit or be prepared to duck behind a tree. The map posted at the car park.
