Dolydd Hafren
A Balancing Act
The forces of nature are very obvious at Dolydd Hafren. On one side are the plants and animals trying to keep their roots in the ground and a roof over their head and on the other is the River Severn that, at times, causes complete chaos! Erosion caused by tremendous surges of water after heavy rain means that habitats are frequently destroyed. The other side of the balancing act is that new habitats are created.
Directions to the reserve: Dolydd Hafren is found at grid reference: SJ208005, west of the B4388. Go through Forden village and on about 1.5 miles. Turn right at the Gaer Farm and follow the track to the Trust car park.
