    Lovely way to get round Coed y Brenin. The story pulled both of mine along. One stop was a bit hard to find under the trees, but the map in the app sorted it.

    Thank you! We've added a little extra signpost so the tricky stop is easier to spot. See you on the next one.

    We've done a lot of trails and this is the first one that felt like being inside a story rather than reading signs. Really well made.

    We came for a quick walk and stayed two hours. My seven-year-old ran ahead to every plaque and the little one did the stomping challenges with total commitment. Shelly's Sunshine Flower is now requested at bedtime.
