Nant Cynon Walk - Brown Walk
 

The walk first passes along a forest track with views of both the larch woodlands above and broadleaved trees in the small Nant Cynon valley below. The rushing sound of this stream heralds its descent. Cross it into an tranquil grassy glade amongst the trees. Enjoy a peaceful picnic here before continuing on toward the Forest Park Centre.

How to get there:

Situated on the A4107 - follow the road from the M4, Junction 40 for about 6 miles. Look out for the signs for Afan Forest Park Visitor Centre.
