https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/1-5m-appeal-to-launched-to-buy-ancient-welsh-woodland

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An appeal has been launched to buy a tract of "Celtic rainforest" to protect important wildlife-rich ancient woodland. The Woodland Trust and TV naturalist Iolo Williams are launching the bid to buy "magical" Llennyrch, a 220 hectare (540 acre) stretch of ancient woodland, pasture and heathland, at Llandecwyn in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.

The site has been described as a Celtic rainforest, with a mountain river flowing through a wooded gorge with many waterfalls creating humid conditions in which more than 200 species of mosses and liverworts thrive.

It is also home to more than 200 species of lichen growing on tree trunks, making it one of the richest woodland lichen sites in Wales, and is part of the Meirionnydd Oakwoods Special Area of Conservation for its important plant life, the Woodland Trust said.

The trust's £1.5 million project aims to protect and boost wildlife by creating new native woodland while maintaining the site's mosaic of woodland, meadows, woodland pasture and moorland, and opening up parts of the landscape for the public.

The Trust, which already cares for nearby Coed Fenlinrhyd, needs £750,000 to buy the site, which contains 100 acres of ancient woodland surrounded by farming land.

Beccy Speight, chief executive of the Woodland Trust, said: "Llennyrch is a magical place, where primeval woodland stands on the banks of the cool, rocky Afon Prysor.

"But it is also a working agricultural holding and if we are successful in purchasing the land, we intend to work with the current farmer to demonstrate the many benefits of trees on farms, showing that productive farming and woodland conservation can go hand in hand."

She said that due to a generous legacy, the Woodland Trust only needed to raise a portion of the £1.5 million cost of the project, but did need £750,000 to secure the purchase, which the charity could not do without the help of its supporters.

Mr Williams said: "I'm delighted that the Woodland Trust (Coed Cadw) are seeking to acquire Llennyrch. Its western location and elevation make it quite literally a rainforest, and one which needs very special care.

"I'm also delighted that the Trust intend to make use of the site as a demonstration project to show the many practical benefits that native trees, in the right place, can offer to the farmer."

The appeal has already received £50,000 from Welsh Government agency Natural Resources Wales, whose chief executive Dr Emyr Roberts described Llennyrch as one of Wales's best wildlife rich woodland sites.

He said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to bring the whole woodland area under conservation management.

"It is also an opportunity to marry conservation with good public access, so that people get to experience, appreciate, value and benefit from nature at its best. It could also play a part in promoting green tourism in this part of Snowdonia."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In April and May 2015, Hollywood's elite; Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Eric Bana and many more arrived along the shores of Llyn Gwynant and besides one of Snowdonia's most imposing peaks; Tryfan.

There's no wonder why Guy Richie chose Snowdonia as one of the main locations to film King Arthur, not only is Snowdonia known for its ancient landscape but is also linked to the legend of King Arthur. According to Arthurian experts, Snowdonia is where Arthur battled the Saxons.

The film follows the legend of Arthur as he grows up and fights for his kingdom (with a few additional twists). Robbed of his birthright, Arthur struggles to survive on the city streets. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy.

Can you spot Snowdonia?

If you're planning a trip to the cinema, keep an eye out for some of our locations in Snowdonia. Don't be fooled by digitally altered scenes, if you look close enough you'll be able to recognise some of Snowdonia's beautiful scenery.

Indeed, Snowdonia takes centre stage in the film from the first few seconds as Mordred's army marches on Camelot. Camelot has been superimposed on Tryfan, which is quite fitting as Tryfan's peaky ridges fit this medieval town perfectly. There are several scenes throughout the film that cut back to this location, keep an eye out for Tryfan's jagged outline and the shadow of Pen yr Ole Wen.

In order to get these shots, the cast and crew set-up camp at one of our tenanted farms, Gwern Gof Isaf in April 2015. This traditional hill-farm and campsite is nestled between Capel Curig and Llyn Ogwen, a stone's throw away from the peak of Tryfan.

Another key scene to keep an eye out for is Arthur's encounter with the Lady of the Lake, which was set to the stunning backdrop of Llynnau Mymbyr. Easily one of the most photographed locations in Snowdonia. The National Trust manages the land on the right, known as Dyffryn Mymbyr where we've recently been busy planting trees and the southern flank of Snowdon in the distance.

'The Place of No Words' is a touching film that oscillates between the real world and a world of fantasy. In Los Angeles, parents Mark and Teresa (real-life couple Mark Webber and Teresa Palmer) struggle to explain the eventuality to their young son (Bodhi Palmer), as the father is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Using the child's active imagination, the father and son take off on an adventure spanning the real and fantastical world to make him come to terms with death. The movie begins with the son asking, "Where do we go when we die?"

The fantasy drama premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival and opened to critical acclaim. Mark Webber's direction has been especially appreciated along with his three-year-old son, Bodhi Palmer's performance. Mark is known for working with family members and close friends, as he likes to draw upon authentic emotions and dynamics between the actors, what he refers to as "reality cinema." Without further ado, let's discuss the filming locations of this visually stunning film!

The Place of No Words Filming Locations

The imaginative conversations between a father and son take them on an adventure as the father battles a terminal illness. Drawing inspiration from his own life, Mark Webber inverts the scenario for the movie; it is his father who is terminally ill. The story of the film mainly takes the viewers to the couple's home in Los Angeles and a fantasy world. Here are the specific locations where the movie was filmed!

Snowdonia, Wales

The fantasy part of the 'The Place of Now Words,' for which Webber gives his son credit, was filmed in Snowdonia. Snowdonia is a natural reserve known for its rare flora and fauna. It is also home to Snowdon, which is considered the busiest mountain in the United Kingdom, owing to the large number of tourists it attracts.

Snowdon is also the highest mountain in Wales. Scenes were also filmed at the Cardigan Bay, with most of it shot in the National Park. The film was not shot in a very conventional way per se, where coverage for each scene was set up but was more exploratory in a sense, which was refined gradually.

Feeling the authenticity of emotions was very important for Webber as a filmmaker who worked with his biological son, Bodhi, in the movie. Since the film did not have a big budget, there were some challenges regarding logistics, including lack of electricity when they were out filming in the wilderness at Snowdonia.

Los Angeles, California

In 'The Place of No Words,' the family lives in Los Angeles, California Considering that the real-life couple Mark Webber and Teresa Palmer actually live in Beachwood Canyon, Los Angeles, we believe that the film too was shot in the City of Angels, especially the parts which portray the realm of reality.

Wales is where Fangirl Quest got started and the country will always hold a special place in our hearts. Our travels started in North Wales, home to the ruggedly beautiful Snowdonia National Park as well as many other interesting destinations.

Sometimes referred to as 'The Castle Capital of the World', Wales has hundreds of castles you can visit. Many have been used as filming locations but some are interesting for other reasons. Conwy Castle falls into the latter category. Built in the 13th century, it is remarkably well preserved and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The entire town is walled, so starting from the castle you can walk around the whole of Conwy atop the battlements. You can also purchase awesome King Arthur swords from the gift shop and take dorky 360° photos but maybe that's just us...

From Conwy we drove on to Anglesey, an island off the north-west coast of Wales. We were headed to the sand dunes of the National Nature Reserve of Newborough Warren. It's a beautiful area for hiking but as we were short on time, we headed straight to Ynys Llanddwyn: a small tidal island that was the filming location for both Clash of the Titans and Half Light. We found the spot from Clash of the Titans and snapped a lovely frame from the movie. The beaches are beautiful, and the view of Snowdonia is quite magnificent, so we hope to go back with more time (and hopefully warmer weather).

We don't despair easily in the face of difficulties when looking for locations, but this time we came pretty close to just giving up. Luckily we didn't though, because towards the evening we finally caught a break! We knew that parts of the new movie King Arthur: Legend of the Sword had been filmed in the area around Llyn Ogwen, near our hotel for the next night. The new King Arthur movie isn't even in the theaters yet, it comes out in May 2017, and we had no idea about the exact locations, just the general area where some scenes were filmed. The only pictures we had were a couple of screenshots from the trailer and some promo shots. But sometimes, just sometimes, perseverance pays off and luck is on your side. You can read the whole story of how we managed to find just the right spots and snap some awesome sceneframes from a movie that hasn't even been released yet here.

Our last destination before leaving the majestic mountains of Snowdonia behind was Zip World, in the historic mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The old slate mine has been turned into an incredible adventure park, complete with the largest zip zone in Europe, Zip World Titan. Unfortunately for us, the over 2-kilometer long zipline is only open from spring until autumn. Titan is definitely something we want to experience, though, and this is one of those destinations we hope to get back to as soon as possible!

The massive zipline is not the only adventure Zip World has to offer. The rest of the activities are hidden inside the old mine. We got to experience Bounce Below at Zip World Slate Cavern Adventures, a massive maze of bouncy cargo nets and tube slides. Once we found our footing and got over the fact that the highest nets are really high up in the cave, we had a blast! I can imagine the place is pure heaven for kids but even us (almost) adults enjoyed exploring all the nooks and tunnels of the site and even managed to capture some slow motion video of our bouncing.

List of Film Sites Set in Wales

Wales has been a popular filming location for TV and film productions for many years. We're the home of Doctor Who and Gavin and Stacey. It's where some of your favourite Netflix shows including Sex Education, Requiem and The Witcher are filmed. Our mountains, beaches and castles have provided a backdrop to many Hollywood epics. Here's a shortlist of our recommendations for some of the most famous Welsh film locations you can visit.

, which is filmed all over Wales, was previously based at Roath Lock in Cardiff Bay, a 16,000 square metre purpose-built BBC site where Casualty and Pobol y Cwm are also created. The iconic series is now made by production company Bad Wolf at its Wolf Studios Wales base, just outside Cardiff.

Regular Doctor Who filming locations in Cardiff included National Museum Cardiff, St Fagans National Museum of History, the city centre streets - especially around Westgate Street and Queen Street, and Llandaff. Outside Cardiff, St Donat's Castle in Llantwit Major, Caerphilly Castle, and Tredegar House in Newport are worth a visit.

Check out our Doctor Who filming locations page for information on Doctor Who tours in South Wales, and some of the places you can visit.

Nearly 35 years after scenes from the original (1988) film were shot in Wales, LucasFilms returned to film the sequel series for Disney+. Filming took place in the Brecon Beacons, Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, locations across South Wales, Pendine Sands in Pembrokeshire and Neath Abbey. Find out more in our article about the Welsh destinations starring in the new Willow Disney+ series.

Netflix's massive hit Sex Education has encouraged a whole new audience to fall in love with the beautiful Wye Valley. The majority of the show is filmed in Wales, and our Sex Education filming locations page has info on places featured in the show you can visit.

If you're short on time Tintern is worth a visit for the old railway bridge Otis and Eric regularly cycled over to school, and the spooky ruins of Tintern Abbey. Monmouth and Llandogo also feature regularly in the show.

The HBO TV show, based on Philip Pullman's epic His Dark Materials fantasy trilogy, follows Lyra, an orphan searching for a missing friend. The majority of the fantasy world was filmed indoors using green screen at Wolf Studios in Cardiff, by Bad Wolf Productions.

While there aren't any exterior locations you can visit, you can head to the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea to see a fantastic free exhibition about the series. Areas of the gallery have been filled with props, beautiful costumes and impressive set pieces, including the Cittàgazze angels and Lord Asriel's projector. You can also see concept boards, illustrations, videos and visual effects sequences. The ' His Dark Materials - World Building in Wales' exhibition is open until early .

Also produced by Bad Wolf and filmed at Wolf Studios Wales, Sky's supernatural TV series A Discovery of Witches is an adaption of Deborah Harkness' historical fantasy trilogy. Hacksaw Ridge leading lady Teresa Palmer stars as Diana, a historian descended from witches. Location filming took place at the atmospheric Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire, with Australian Palmer describing the Norman fortress site as 'crazy beautiful'.

Find out more on our Discovery of Witches locations page.

Jez Butterworth's series for Sky Atlantic and Amazon Prime follows the Roman conquest of Britain, or Britannia, a 'mysterious land ruled by warrior women and powerful druids who can channel the powerful forces of the underworld'. Wales' ancient landscape offered the obvious setting for this epic depiction of Britannia with Cwm Porth in Ystradfellte and Llyn y Fan Fach in Llanddeusant providing the backdrop for meadow and waterfall settings, and coastal scenes shot at the iconic Rhossili Bay on the Gower Peninsula. Nash Point in Marcross and Henrhyd Falls in Coelbren were also used as locations throughout the series.

This much-loved BBC comedy drama put Barry so firmly on the map that local guides offer amusing coach tours of many of the locations featured in the series. Essential stops include Trinity Street where Stacey and her family live, Marco's Café where Stacey gets a job and St Peter's Church in Peterston-Super-Ely, where Nessa and Dave nearly get married.

Read about the Gavin and Stacey locations in Wales.

BBC and Netflix joint psychological thriller sees a woman investigating the disappearance of a child in the fictional Welsh village of Penllynith, and much of filming took place in real-life Welsh locations of Newport, Pembrokeshire and Dolgellau in Eryri (Snowdonia).

Requiem creator and writer Kris Mrksa felt Wales offered the perfect dramatic setting, saying: "When I visited Wales, I fell in love with the place. It has a mystical feel, and the history there is very palpable. There is a druidic vibe there, too. (Characters) Matilda and Hal are quickly drawn into that world and enmeshed in it. The Welsh town becomes a character in its own right."

Set over four days during WWI, this feature-length version of the play by RC Sheriff stars Paul Bettany and Sam Clafin and uses a litany of Welsh locations as evocative wartime backdrops.

National Trust property, Tredegar House in Newport was transformed into a military base for the film. With 90 acres of parkland surrounding the grand 17th-century house, the expanse of green proved the ideal choice for the garrison scenes. Pinewood Studios, Cardiff, Old Beaupre Castle, Cowbridge and Neath Abbey also stand in for northern France throughout the film.

The first two series of BBC3's Being Human were set in Bristol, but in the third series, the four protagonists moved to a former B&B called Honolulu Heights on Coast View Road in Barry Island. In reality, this is an ordinary house on the corner of Cannon Street. The Maerdy Hotel in Pencoed stands in for the Barry Grand Hotel, where Hal and Tom get jobs in the fifth series.

The Harry Potter films used incredible locations all over the UK - however they came to Wales to film what was probably the saddest scene in the whole series. The design team for the seventh instalment of the Harry Potter saga recreated Shell Cottage, Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's Cornish home, in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Complete with three-storey attic, shell-tiled roof and crooked chimneys, it was built on the sandy dunes behind Freshwater West beach in April 2009 and deconstructed after filming finished. There is still a shrine to Dobby the House Elf, but please protect the beach and leave no trace if you visit to pay your respects.

As well as being used to film Harry Potter, Freshwater West beach is a great spot for watching experienced surfers, although the strong waves and rip currents means it's not so good for swimming. The wide, sandy beach has plenty of space to run around and rockpools to explore. The National Trust owned beach has dunes that form part of a legally protected conservation area, so you can expect to see plenty of wildlife and flora.

Another show using Cardiff filming locations, however it's Cardiff Bay taking a starring role in this BBC series. The Hub, Torchwood's secret headquarters, is located underground in Roald Dahl Plass, beneath William Pye's stainless steel Water Tower sculpture. The Wales Millennium Centre often appears as a backdrop. In Torchwood: Miracle Day, Gwen Cooper lives at The Old Rectory on Rhossili Bay, a cottage owned by the National Trust.

In June 2009, another crew set up on Freshwater West - this time, to film an epic battle sequence for Ridley Scott's , in which horsemen with pennants gallop along the water's edge. Apparently, Russell Crowe loved it here so much that instead of being helicoptered back to his London hotel after filming, he opted to camp on the sand for several nights. Wild camping isn't actually allowed on the beach, but there are several campsites in Pembrokeshire where you can sleep under canvas.

Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Matthew Rhys star in this film set in London and Wales and based loosely on events in the life of the poet Dylan Thomas. Key scenes were filmed in the charming seaside town of New Quay during 2007. The unit also spent time in Cardigan, Tenby, Laugharne, Betws-y-Coed, Swansea and Cardiff, and stayed at Ty Mawr Mansion in Cilcennin, Lampeter.

Penbryn Beach in Ceredigion serves as a stand-in for North Korea in the 20th Bond film, directed by Lee Tamahori and starring Pierce Brosnan. The celebrities may have long since moved on but this beautiful beach, owned by the National Trust, is still a great spot for the other kind of stargazing - it's almost completely unspoilt by light pollution.
