I found Penallta to have very open spaces for dog walking, people seem to use the bins as it looks fairly clean. Also looks like it would be great for bicycles too so may bring mine next time as it was a little hard to navigate due to the size and not being able to walk to far atm. 😀👌

There is a lake or pond but I didn't find it unfortunately 😕 Wouldn't say the views were amazing on the parts that we went but will update when I get to explore again.

We go for a walk here most weekends, it's a gorgeous park. We particularly appreciate that it has a proper tarmac path which makes it pram & wheelchair accessible. There are a lot of options to go on dirt/ gravel paths too if you want a bit more of an explore, so there's something for everyone. Such a great place to have on your doorstep, recommend if you want some fresh air.

Beautiful place.... Massive area to walk around and explore. Great for the kids and dogs. The house is amazing aswell

Only ventured to the main flat area to try the drone. Nice location for a walk, and a few walking trails off the main flat grassy section. Good car park spacing, but I didn't see any toilets. I think this links to the Taff Trail north/south so a good route to explore if you are passing on a bicycle. There was a few points of interests we will look at next time, but not much to say based off our first visit. There were many dog walkers so I did mention I would be using a drone and are they OK with that. I wanted pictures of above the old Penallta Colliery, but so many restrictions regarding drone flying it's hardly worth holding my licence. These are the points of interests people want to see, especially as I run a local community page also. After looking all over this location next time, it may reflect a higher rating than three stars given this time.

Absolutely love this place. Great for dog walks and stunning views. Wonderful watching it change over the seasons.

Love this place. So great whatever the weather. Great place to walk the dogs or take the kids, or just walk in general.

Excellent space for walking, with lots of different tracks showing the flora and fauna of to advantage. The sculptures and information about the original mine and the reclamation is great. These are just a few of the pictures my daughter took whilst walking around.

Fabulous countryside parking with NCN route 47 passing right through, taking you to Maesycwmmer viaduct, the Gren way and the Tram car wheel. If you follow any of the paths that take you upwards from route 47 you will be able to see Sultan the pit pony. Highly recommended this walk. There is a small charge for parking, but it's well worth it.
