If you are a little unsteady under foot take your time, and there are plenty of seats.
There are plenty of benches and picnic tables around to stop and rest or eat a picnic if you bring one.
The car park is cheap to stay in, only £2.50 for the day. Toilets facilities are available as well as a cosy coffee shop to get refreshments.
The Country Park is managed by the Brecon Beacons National Park and is 40-acres large. It is part of the grounds of Craig-y-Nos Castle. There's a network of paths which are easy to follow, and we found ourselves walking through some beautiful woodlands and alongside the River Tawe that runs through the area.
It's dog friendly but they have to kept on a lead. We were surprised at how quiet it was there, we walked the whole area and only saw a few people out walking. This is definitely somewhere we will be visiting again, it makes for a nice day out!
We arrived and paid to park.
Had a look around and found a paper map of a walk.
The walk took us out the park and across the road then up the mountain.
The map was not easy to follow but this didn’t really matter as there where so many parts. So we ended up walking across the ridge and along to Donna rogoff and come out in the caves carpark.
Then across the road and back into Craig-Y-Nos park it was a walk of about 5 miles
The park itself it really lovely and has some brilliant places to just sit and think or let the kid’s play.
Toilets where clean
Did not go in for food or the gift shop but both were busy
