Bwlch Nant yr Arian Visitor Centre  Bwlch Nant Yr Arian

Bwlch Nant y Arian is an outstanding forest recreation centre in the heart of Mid Wales, and is owned and managed by Forestry Commission Wales on behalf of the National Welsh Assembly.

An award winning attraction, the Visitor Centre has been completely re-developed as an ecologically-friendly building with excellent restaruant facilities, a gift shop and superb views.

Nant-yr-Arian is famous for the daily Red Kite feeding, which can be seen from the Visitor Centre or from many places around the lake. There is a video system with a number of cameras around the lake, giving you a close-up view of the birds

For the more athletic, there are a number of Waymarked Walks, one of which is suitable for disabled persons. Excellent Cycle Trails start and end at Nant-yr-Arian, with a bike washing facility at the Visitor Centre.

Bwlch Nant yr Arian is a popular attraction in Mid-Wales, with plenty to offer visitors of all ages and abilities. We feed Wales’ National Bird, the Red Kite daily at 2pm (winter) and 3pm (summer).
