Ancient celtic forest bought by Woodland Trust

An ancient forest in Snowdonia has been bought by the Woodland Trust after a campaign raised £750,000.

The 220-hectare forest of Llennyrch - also known as the Celtic Rainforest - is a unique habitat of unspoilt atlantic oakwood and Woodland pasture.

It included lichen that doesn't grow anywhere else in Wales.

The campaign to raise enough money to purchase the forest began in August.

It had been backed by wildlife broadcaster Iolo Williams.

The Woodlands Trust says it's a special site and people are welcome to go and enjoy it.
