Great walk! very scenic, plenty of picnic benches and numerous bins to discard your rubbish which I find lacking with most country parks these days.

Well kept secret near to the old Penscynor Wildlife park. Lovely walk with shaded areas, picnic areas and a few surprises along the way.

Enchanting hillside walk through some old woods. Lots of picnic benches and great views across Neath Valley down to Port Talbot - nice dog walk

Lovely place to wander around, even in winter. Beautiful views and walks, although didn't manage to see all of it while I was there. Paths down aren't well signposted so best to go while it's light.

Beautiful woodland park, perfect for dog walking and exploring with the kids. Fairy doors throughout the entire place. So many trails to explore as well. Free parking and a quiet place we passed maybe 5 people/families the whole time we were there

I love it here, its a perfect little slice of nature tucked away at the back of Cadoxton. The woodland is all the more charming with the addition of 'fairy doors' made by local children stuck on trees.

My son loves exploring and following the many streams that wind down the hill.

Ample parking, though plan ahead as there are no facilities.

Keep an eye on the younger kiddos as there are crags and drops. You are on a mountainside after all! Little waterfalls and industrial ruins add interest and make a great backdrop for adventures.

If you are looking to immerse yourself in nature for a while - this is a good shout.
