Mae’n anodd credu fod y fforest heddychlon hon yn arfer bod yn ardal bwysig ar gyfer cloddio, ond mae’r llwybr yn pasio tyllau pyllau y tu ôl i ffensys, sy’n ein hatgoffa o’r diwydiant plwm a arferai fod yma flynyddoedd yn ôl. Ar hyd y ffordd, fe gewch sawl golygfa ysgubol o’r mynyddoedd, ac ar ddiwrnod clir mae modd adnabod siâp unigryw Tryfan, a bryniau llai Crimpiau a’r Graig Wen o boptu iddo.

Damselflies and dragonflies begin to emerge in mid March and this walk through Gwydir Forest is the perfect place to spot these pretty insects as they dart around the lakes. Listen out, too, for jays screeching in the woods and the croaks of a raven flying overhead – you might even see the elaborate dance of chases, dives, and rolls that makes up this bird’s mating ritual. It is hard to believe that this tranquil forest was once an important mining area but the trail passes fenced-off mine shafts which are a reminder of the lead-mining industry from many years ago. Along the way, there are also beautiful mountain views and, on a clear day, you can pick out the spiny ridge of Tryfan, framed by the smaller hills of Crimpiau and Craig Wen.
