Ffynnon Dawel is an old stone cottage and four-acre woodland garden nestled in a mile long wooded valley. To reach the encampment we cross a little foot bridge over the Eifed stream, which flows through the valley to join the Teifi river. Five miles further on the river meets the sea near Aberteifi, known in English as Cardigan town.

The woods are home to ash, wych elm, oak, hawthorn, holly and wild cherry trees. Through the seasons many other plants emerge to carpet the woodland floor, such as snowdrops, celandine, dogs mercury and bluebells. Humans have also lived here since 1870, growing flowers fruits and vegetables in the cottage garden.  Many people of all ages have enjoyed playing in the garden, the stream, and the wilds just beyond the garden.

Since 2017 Ffynnon Dawel has provided sanctuary and privacy for outdoor psychotherapy with groups and individuals who wish to explore their relationship with nature.
