FCW confirms plans for Anglesey forest
Forestry Commission Wales (FCW) has confirmed plans to transform Newborough Forest on Anglesey, North Wales, into a "major asset" that contributes to the island's economy.
A number of recreation facilities are being proposed for the area under the new plans, which have been drawn up following consultation with local residents and other stakeholders.
FCW is planning a £600,000 development to include catering and beach goods retail outlet, along with a bicycle hire facility and the establishment of a pony trekking business.
Plans submitted to Isle of Anglesey County Council also comprise 29.6 km (18.4 miles) of waymarked horse riding routes and 17.7 km (11 miles) of family-graded cycle routes.
FCW local area manager Tim Gordon-Roberts said: "The proposal will provide at least five days' worth of all-weather, outdoor family-based recreation opportunities across the forest, beach, warren and the iconic Ynys Llanddwyn."
Funding has been received from the Countryside Council for Wales-run Communities and Nature Fund, as well as the Welsh Assembly Government.
