Y Felinheli

Situated south of this village is The Greenwood Centre, a forest heritage and adventure park. Opened in the early 1990s, this centre concentrates on exploring and explaining man’s relationship with trees and how, by using conservation techniques, the loss of trees from the countryside can be halted whether in the equatorial rain forests or ancient temperate forests of Europe. The skills of ancient carpenters and joiners are also on show, particularly in the Great Hall. This building was constructed entirely using medieval skills and knowledge and is held together by 500 oak pegs!

A couple of miles further east off the A487, bordering the Menai Strait, is Glan Faenol (NT), which includes parkland and farmland around Vaynol Hall, once one of the largest estates in North Wales. This is an important habitat for wildlife, and a pleasant walk leads to the sea and two viewing platforms. The estate has tracts of ancient woodland and several follies, including one built to rival the Marquess Column on Anglesey. The views of Snowdonia and across the strait are memorably depicted in one of Rex Whistler murals at Plas Newydd.
