After months of denying it would be closing Ynyslas Visitor Centre, National Resources Wales (NRW) announced its intention to close, not just one, but three of the successful and much-visited mid-Wales visitor centres it manages – Ynyslas, Coed y Brenin, and Bwylch Nant y Arian.

This area of Wales relies heavily on the visitors from all over the world it hosts each year, bringing much-needed money and employment to the area. These three visitor centres provide for over 750,000 people annually.
