Cwmcarn Forest
Once a mining area, Cwmcarn is now a beautiful mature Forest of Larch and Pine. There is a Forest Drive through it and it provides the visitor excellent views and picnic spots along its length. Why not get behind the wheel and treat the family to this unique and fun day out along the seven mile Cwmcarn Forest Drive.
Explore by car, bike and foot the delights of this hidden wooded valley that culminates in a stunning sequence of views.
Enjoy stopping off at the Visitor Centre, relax at one of the picnic sites, venture forth along the forest paths or participate in one of the organised events.
With such variety on offer it is well worth staying at the popular campsite.
