Tucked away in the heart of a gorgeous Welsh forest is a manmade boardwalk looks like it's been lifted straight out of a picture book. It allows people to take in the surroundings on a more easy-going route through the area offering perfect pitstops for pictures along the way.

If you're taking a day trip then you'll be looking at a journey time at a little more than two hours from the likes of Cardiff or Swansea , slightly less if you're coming from Birmingham, about 90 minutes if you're travelling from Wrexham, or under an hour from the coast at Aberystwyth in Ceredigion .

If you are walking from the forest's car park it is a 30-minute amble to the boardwalk along the riverbank and along the side of the tumbling cascades.
