Afan Forest Park Visitor Centre

Located at the heart of Afan Forest Park in Port Talbot, the visitor centre is home to Cedar’s Tearoom, South Wales Miners’ Museum and Afan Valley Bike Shed. With on-site parking (fees apply) and public toilet facilities, this is a great place to start off on your adventure. Afan Forest Park Visitor Centre is surrounded by mountain bike trails ranging from the family friendly Rookie Trail, to black and red graded trails for mountain bike enthusiasts. For adventures on foot, follow way-marked walks from the visitor centre out into the surrounding forest landscape.

There are exciting plans in place to further improve facilities by creating a children’s adventure play area, refurbishing toilet and shower facilities, as well as creating campervan parking with electric hook ups. Also planned, is a brand new digital information point within the visitor centre to assist visitors with navigating this beautiful valley.

Through funding from Welsh Government as part of Valleys Regional Park, Afan Forest Park now has a new children’s area, and has undertaken improvements and refurbishments to the car parking and motorhome hook-up, toilet, and shower facilities — as well as to the visitor centre interpretation.
