Скачать или смотреть ‘Lost’ In The Afan Valley - Walking The Afan Forest Park South Wales

I got lost, well lost ‘ish’ hiking the beautiful Afan Forest Park in the Afan Valley which is only 15 minutes from the M4 and Port Talbot, South Wales.

I start at the South Wales Mining Museum in the Afan Forest Park where many of the mountain bike trails start as well as a number of walking trails. I follow the Gyfylchi Ridgetop Trail but take a diversion to join the River and Railway Walk to see Brunel’s South Wales Mineral Railway Line and the Gyfylchi Tunnel.

The full address of my starting point Afan Forest Park Visitor Centre, Cynonville, Port Talbot, SA13 3HG

I sort of get lost trying to find the path up the side of the valley to the ruins of Nant-y-Bar farmstead. Nant-y-Bar Farm was an upland farmstead, built of stone, dating from the early 17th century.

After the walk, I discovered that the route marked on the board at the start of the walk is not quite the same as the PDF version from the website.
The website version seems to be incorrect and the path I mark going up the hill is not actually there.

So take a look at the trail route on the board, it follows the main gravel roadway.
