Hafren Forest

The Hafren Forest (pronounced HAV-ren) is a large forest six miles west of Llanidloes in Powys, central Wales. It is named for the River Severn ("Afon Hafren" in Welsh).

The forest is near Plynlimon, which is one of the largest mountains in Wales. The source of the River Severn is in a peat bog on the slopes of Plynlimon. There are also many waterfalls in the forest, including the famous "Severn-Break-its-Neck" waterfall.
