Cwm Clydach Countryside Park

Highlight • Lake

Cwm Clydach Countryside Park is an oasis of calm for wildlife with stunning views that has been created from the blackened scar of a coal mine.

Walking alongside the lakes offers the chance to spot Kingfishers, herons, butterflies, newts and more.

The two lakes are referred to as the “top lake” and “bottom lake” and there are also waterfalls.

For refreshments, there is an on-site cafe.
