Gnoll Country Park, West Glamorgan

Description

This is a lovely place to visit. It's set in an early 18th century landscaped garden and there's plenty of lakes, cascades and a grotto to enjoy. The views of the Vale of Neath are wonderful and it's a fabulous place to escape from the crowds.

Walks

There's lots to walk around here, with signed woodland trails which link the main viewpoints at Mosshouse Reservoir and Cefn Morfudd. Alternatively, a stroll around the lake is also enjoyable with some charming cascades to enjoy.

The main area of the park is accessible to all, but the route to the reservoir is hilly in places and rather muddy in wet weather.
