Afan Forest Park – Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre, near Port Talbot
Starting point for three of our red-graded mountain...
Caio Forest is made up of several conifer woodlands which spread out over the uplands high above the historic village of Caio in Carmarthenshire.
There are three waymarked circular walking trails from the car park and many miles of forest roads and tracks.
The small picnic area is set in a clearing, just over the river from the car park.
Nearby is the National Trust’s Dolaucothi estate where there are walking trails and a Roman gold mine which is open to visitors.
The walking trails are waymarked from start to finish.
Look out for the information panel at the start of the trails.
Find out about walking trail grades.
This pleasant walk through the forest crosses a bridge over the stream where there is a picnic table in the clearing.
The longest of the waymarked trails is an easy and reasonably flat walk on forest roads.
This trail follows grassy paths and forest roads as it makes its way up through a variety of trees.
The climb is rewarded by great views.
There is a network of trails of different lengths around the nearby Dolaucothi estate.
The trails go through woodland and the grounds of the former mansion, now long-gone.
For more information about the Dolaucothi Estate go to the National Trust website.
Sometimes we need to close or divert trails for your safety whilst we undertake maintenance work or other operations.
We may have to close a site in extreme weather, such as high winds or snow and ice, due to the risk of injury to visitors or staff.
Please always follow any instructions on site and any temporary diversion signs.
