Hafren Forest, near Llanidloes is one of Mid Wales' most valued natural gems but has been gaining increasing popularity - and visitor numbers - sparked in part by viral Tik Tok posts.
The forest, which leads to the source of the Severn, features a spectacular boardwalk section, which has proved a big hit for pictures on social media.
Managed by Natural Resources Wales, there are a number of trails - including the Severn-Break-its-Neck Trail, which features the popular boardwalk.
As the number of visitors increases one local resident has highlighted the impact on the area, showing cars lining the route to the main car park Rhyd-y-benwch - and litter and dog poo bags left discarded.
A video posted on social media shows the extent the situation, with scores of residents adding their own feelings with some remarking that they have 'never seen so much traffic'.
