I went back to some beautiful woodland I’d visited a couple of weeks ago. My neighbour (of the sheep) had told me of an unspoilt valley which I realised was just beyond the woodland.

It’s access land but there are no paths and the steep sides are strewn with scree. The only way to explore it is to follow the river. After scrambling down to it follow the river I did, hopping across rocks as needed. It felt like I’d been given the keys to a secret kingdom for the day. Magical 💚

A photo taken through a gap in trees. It provides a view over the canopy of mainly oak woodland lower in the valley towards a steep hillside beyond. The sky is blue with fluffy white clouds. The hillside is in sunshine, scrubby trees bright green in leaf.

We went for a lovely walk today, over these gigantic stepping stones and over the salt marsh. It was lovely to hear the curlews again. #YnysMôn #Cymru #Wales

A series of gigantic stepping stones over the estuary leading to the sea. It's hard to appreciate the scale from the photo. The Eryri mountain range and the mountains of the Llŷn Peninsula are in the distance.

A fabulous walk today from Aberystwyth to Ynyslas along the Ceredigion coast path. Sunshine and sea mist and the delicious coconut scent of gorse.

I timed my walk for low tide at the end, which exposed some of the prehistoric petrified forest between Borth and Ynyslas, associated with the legendary sunken civilisation of Cantre'r Gwaelod. It was even more mysterious in the sea mist, which rolled in and out like the tide, revealing and hiding features as it did so.
