Gogerddan Wood is home to a stunning display of bluebells and other wildflowers in spring
There are also some beautiful old trees here including oak, sweet chestnut and lime and these are clothed in an array of seasonal colours in autumn.
The circular walking trail starts from the car park and there is a small picnic site in a sheltered location by Nant Clarach stream.
The woodland gets its name from the nearby Plas Gogerddan (Gogerddan mansion), an old mansion owned by the Pryse family who were famous silver and lead mine owners.
