Afan Forest Park – Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre, near Port Talbot
Starting point for three of our red-graded mountain...
Cwm Rhaeadr Forest is in the peaceful Tywi valley.
Cwm Rhaeadr means “valley of the waterfall” in Welsh and you can enjoy views of the highest waterfall in Carmarthenshire on the Waterfall Walk.
There is also a short accessible woodland trail and a mountain bike trail for experienced riders.
The woodland has a variety of trees from huge conifers to native broadleaved trees and there are carpets of bluebells in spring.
The picnic area is set amongst tall conifer trees next to the car park and there are great views from the picnic tables.
The walking trails are waymarked from start to finish.
Look out for the information panel at the start of the trail.

This woodland trail goes past a variety of different trees including huge Douglas firs planted in the 1940s.
It passes by a small pond with a short boardwalk over the water - look out for dragonflies here in summer.
This trail sets off through the woodland and soon goes alongside the river.
About halfway round there are views towards the waterfall pouring down the mountain.
There are also views of the valley and the surrounding hills from the trail.
All our mountain bike trails are waymarked from start to finish and have been graded for difficulty.
