Sirhowy Valley Country Park Leaflet
Sirhowy Valley Country Park is a great base for walking or cycling. Take a gentle stroll along the former railway track (it’s flat!) or ramble down through the Flatwoods Meadows Local Nature Reserve alongside the Sirhowy River. You can visit the recently restored Penllwyn Tramroad Bridge complete with original stone sleepers. Those on two wheels can cycle in safety along route 47 of the National Cycleway to Parc Penallta and beyond in the west or south to Newport. Ynys Hywel Farm, a traditional working hill farm, managed by the Countryside and Landscape Service, is open all year for school visits. A small farm trail is open all year round. Close by is Graig Goch Local Nature Reserve, an ancient and beautiful mixed woodland.
There’s a steep climb to reach it but the views are great!
