#OTD in 1859, a #storm tore through Cwm-yr-Eglwys, destroying St Brynach’s Church & sweeping ships ashore. Only the west wall & bellcote remain — echoes of medieval #Pembrokeshire. Explore its 3D model: zurl.co/BlBGB & archive: zurl.co/04YrY

We've got some fabulous fungi on our reserves at the moment! 🍄

This amazing display of Honey Fungus was snapped at our Coed Dyrysiog reserve by Steph, our Wildlife Trust Officer in Brecon.

What fungi have you found this autumn? 🍂

Our volunteers around Wales do fantastic work to improve access to the countryside.

Here’s what the team in Aberystwyth have been up to recently.

/

Mae ein gwirfoddolwyr yn gweithio ledled Cymru i wella mynediad i gefn gwlad.

Dyma beth mae’r tîm yn Aberystwyth wedi bod yn ei wneud yn ddiweddar.

Very steep group walk today from Pontypridd to Eglwysilan. Views from the top were worth it though 😊👣

Diwali Hapus to people celebrating the festival of lights, both in Wales and across the world ❤️

Mae hwn yn amser i nodi buddugoliaeth goleuni dros dywyllwch, ac yn ein hatgoffa i edrych ymlaen at ddyfodol gwell gyda'n gilydd 🪔
Pencoed Trailblazers crushed it again 💥

Community power is growing — Pencoed shines brighter every month 🌟 #PencoedTrailblazers #CommunityCleanup
Rebecca wasn’t just angry—she was right. In 1840s Wales, tollgates bled poor farmers dry.
So “Rebecca and her daughters” rose up. They wore dresses. They smashed gates. They demanded justice and they won reforms.
A riot? Yes.
A turning point? Absolutely.

Last month 34 members of Llanelli Ramblers travelled to Cumbria to complete the Dales Way after their first trip in May.

Braving wet and windy weather they walked from Ribblehead viaduct to Bowness-on-Windermere, where the trail ends.

A great time was had by all, despite the inclement weather!

Just back from a little holiday in unwontedly sunny Pembrokeshire. Pentre Ifan looking so perfect here that even the inadequacies of my cheap phone camera don't detract!

Turning into a nice day in #wales, could do with a bit more breeze on the #hike, but at least the #views are clear. On a bit of the #cambrianway

It’s been a cracking day cycling around Carmarthenshire visiting Llanmihangel Abercowin chapel and Hen Capel in Llanybri. The highlight was definitely a cheeky stop off in the Castle Inn at Llansteffan. #Carmarthenshire #Llamybri #Llansteffan #SirCaerdryddin #Wales #Cymru #Beicio #Abercowin
Have they announced anticipated opening dates yet? I’ll have to search for another off road (ish), flat (ish) cycling route in the Carmarthen area (20-50 miles). Any ideas?
