About Cwmcarn Forest

Cwmcarn Forest offers a decent range of activities and events for all the family, including children's explorer trail, fishing, mountain biking and walking routes for all abilities - all with a stunning sequence of panoramic views on the side!

This previously heavily mined area has been transformed into scenic and peaceful forest where nature has reclaimed the former industrial past with gusto, so it's a got a nice educational edge to it too! It is hard to imagine in it's current lustre that some of the surrounding hillsides here were once slag heaps with nary a tree to be seen!
