Directions

Barry Sidings Park is off the A4058 near Trehafod, north west of Pontypridd.

The entrance is unsigned and easy to miss. If approaching Trehafod from Pontypridd, pass the Lorries Turning sign and turn left opposite a large stone building. Drive over the narrow metal bridge and follow the road to reach the car park.
