Forest bathing at Nant Mill and the Clywedog Valley

Nant Mill is an old corn mill in the Clywedog Valley near Coedpoeth, set beside ancient woodland on the River Clywedog. It sits on the Clywedog Valley Trail, a six-and-a-half-mile route that runs from Minera Lead Mines down through Nant Wood and Plas Power Wood, past Bersham Ironworks and the Erddig estate, to King's Mill on the edge of Wrexham. The valley is narrow and wooded, with the river close by for much of the way.

For forest bathing, start at Nant Mill and follow the trail into Nant Wood rather than walking the whole route; you can turn back whenever you have had enough. There is a picnic area and play area by the mill. The visitor centre and toilets are currently closed, though the woods and paths remain open. Dogs need to be on a lead in signposted areas. Paths by the river can be muddy after rain.
