‘I really like climbing trees in Dinefwr because you can see so far when you are up there. Last year, we had a go at climbing with a harness and I got almost to the top.’ - Harrison Cole Cooper, aged 7

There are thousands of trees at Dinefwr, it is famous for them and is one reason why it's a Parkland National Nature Reserve. While some trees are over 600 and quite precious, there are a few corkers that are perfect for climbing.
 
The best one is the 'Phoenixing oak’. It’s not far from the welcome centre and it’s brilliant for beginners, with a branch that has grown long and reaches the ground for a great starting point.
