Escape to nature! From thrilling adventures to tranquil overnight stays, Cwmcarn Forest is close enough to retreat to yet feels like a million miles away. The hills of this previously mined area have been transformed into peaceful forests with impressive views where nature has reclaimed the former industrial past.
Cwmcarn Forest is mountain biking paradise for thrill seeking adrenaline junkies, with three mountain bike trails (and another coming soon), ample parking, bike repair shop and lift service. Water activities and orienteering are also on offer for fun seekers; as well as an adventure playground.
For walkers, whether you like walking trails or a leisurely stroll, Cwmcarn Forest has it all, from challenging hill climbs up Twmbarlwm, to gentle walks around the forest and valley floor.
Breakfast, snacks and hearty meals are available at Cwmcarn’s Raven’s Café in the visitor centre. And overnight visitors are welcome to stay at one of our glamping pods or newly added lodges.
Gear up or wind down, the choice is yours at Cwmcarn Forest.
