About Ynyslas Visitor Centre

Dyfi National Nature Reserve is situated midway between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth and has three main parts: estuary, sand dunes and peat bog.

The estuary provides feeding areas for waterfowl and migrating waders, and the dunes are home to orchids, mosses, liverworts, fungi, insects and spiders; many of these species are rare and some are unknown elsewhere in Britain.

You can explore the dunes and seashore on the walking trails from the beach car park or simply follow your nose and take in the wide open spaces and spectacular views over the estuary.

Swimming and the use of inflatables is not allowed and the car park frequently floods - see the Natural Resources Wales website for more information.

Please read the information panel at the start of the trails to make sure you pick a trail that’s right for you.
