It lies in the area of Tan-y-Bwlch, a little above Plas Tan-y-Bwlch, and is in the catchment area of the River Dwyryd.

The Vale is chiefly famous for the Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow gauge railway line running from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Ceunant Llennyrch National Nature Reserve is one of several woodland reserves in the Vale of Ffestiniog in Gwynedd, Wales and runs from Trawsfynydd Lake to the River Dwyryd, near the village of Maentwrog. The reserve’s broad expanse of woodland coats a spectacularly steep gorge, through which the stunning Afon Prysor waterfall cascades. At one point, the river is flanked by one hundred feet (30m) high cliffs, which face each other only 10 metres (35 feet) apart.

Rising steeply from the River Dwyryd valley floor, the reserve forms part of the extensive and dramatic wooded landscape of the Vale of Ffestiniog. Numerous species of woodland birds breed here, and the cliffs at the top end of the wood provide good nesting places for ravens.

It offers a variety of habitats, rising from the wooded valley onto open moorland and reaching towards the foot of Moelwyn Bach mountain.
