Coed y Brenin - literally the "Forest of the King" - is a place where woodland traditions meet open-air adventure. Set in north-west Wales, the forest park has long drawn walkers, riders and anyone who loves the hush of trees and the lift of a high path. This travel poster celebrates that atmosphere: a winding trail cutting through layered conifers and broadleaf stands, a palette of deep greens, russets and ochres that suggests an autumn when the air is sharp and the light is low.
History and landscape sit close together here. For generations the land has been worked and tended, a living patchwork of native oak and managed plantation, of mossy riverbanks and slopes that rise to reveal distant ridgelines. The forest has become known beyond local circles for its network of tracks - quiet footpaths and waymarked routes, plus world-class mountain biking trails that have introduced a younger generation to the region. Yet beneath all of that modern use there is an older Wales: a language, a set of stories and a patient landscape shaped by centuries of people and weather.
Culturally, Coed y Brenin belongs to a Wales that values both solitude and welcome. Small settlements nearby still speak Welsh as readily as English, and local cafés and craft shops keep a habit of honest conversation. In the hills, you feel a sense of continuity: sheepfolds, ruined walls and the occasional chapel remind you of long occupation, while the forest itself offers refuge - rooms of green that shift with the seasons.
This poster aims to capture that quiet romance. The composition uses simplified forms and layered planes to suggest depth without clutter. Trees become repeated silhouettes, hills stack back into the distance, and a single, curling track draws the eye in - an invitation to leave the map behind and follow.
