Nestled within Hensol Forest is Pysgodlyn Mawr, a designated SSSI site and owned by the Welsh Forestry Commission. Here you'll find a beautiful serene coarse fishing lake.

Tresilian Bay is renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs, breathtaking views across the Bristol Channel, and a captivating white house nestled at the valley's edge, adding a touch of charm to the landscape. The sheltered pebble beach, embraced by two majestic cliffs, unveils a slice of history with the presence of a WW2 pillbox.
