The name itself - Cefn Cenarth means "Ridge of Lichens" in Welsh. With over one hundred species of lichen and around forty species of moss, this is undoubtedly the place to visit!
Large cushion mosses carpet the woodland floor and the lichen known locally as 'witches whiskers' (Usnea florida) hangs from many branches. Common heather and bell heather thrive throughout especially in the sunny glades.
There's a lovely mix of birds including the chiffchaff, treecreeper, mistle thrush, pied flycatcher, blackbird, jay and redstart.
