Pen-y-fan Pond
Improvement Works
Work have started on 5th March to upgrade the path around the pond to improve it's surface. The work is expected to last 16 weeks.
During the works several sections of the path and park will be closed to visitors and it will not be possible to do a circuit of the pond. It will be still be possible to walk the public rights of way.
Towards the end of the improvement works it is possible that the Country Park will be closed completely to vehicles, as work will be carried out in the top car park to prevent unauthorised use of motor vehicles.
Every effort will be made to ensure that as much of the Country Park as possible will be available for visitors.
