About PlacesToGo Cymru|Wales NRW
This app shows you where you can go and what you can do in Wales’s public forests and National Nature Reserves managed by Natural Resources Wales. Download our partner app PlaceTales Cymru|Wales NRW which explains the natural and cultural heritage of these sites, including audio trails and folk tales.
All featured sites have car parks and trails/access to help you experience the best of Wales's forests and reserves. Try our walking, mountain bike and horse-riding trails. Sites are looked after by Natural Resources Wales or its partners.
Using the maps:
To avoid signal problems with opening up pdfs (coverage is often poor in forests) - open up the maps you want to use at your chosen site before your visit and they will be stored on your phone as a download - you can then look at them without a signal if there isn't one on site. Site descriptions are held on the app though - no need for a signal.)
This is a fully bilingual Welsh and English app.
There are lots of search options: pick a forest or reserve on the main map or use the 'Filter' to search by your chosen activity or reserve type, or use the 'Nearby' function to get the lowdown on NRW places nearest to you.

What a waste of time this app is. Little better than a leaflet; Forestry missed the opportunity to create something special (and useful), and instead produced this waste of space. Free is too expensive for this disappointing download.

Rather than using this app to expand visitors horizons and allow wlaks and cycles to be preplanned, it just seems to be a digital version of the same old brochures of tame circular walks. Has the developer ever been to these amazing sites? It would appear not.

This desperately needs an update. Newborough is shown as closed with a closure period of 4 months. That was 9 months ago and the forest is fully open again now. What else is out of date?

what it does is good but that is on a very very limited number of forests, no where near as good as the version for England. needs work to update the database

Lacking 90% of the features of the England version of the app. Not sure why as most of them would be pretty generic for both apps anyway.....
