The Cors Caron nature reserve is an expansive example of raised peat bogs and thrives today when many have been destroyed. This wetland is home to impressive biodiversity and an important place for birds, insects, lichen, crustaceans and other animals.

The Route 82/Ystrad Trail cycleway travels along the eastern edge of the reserve along a gravel track. To get a better look at the wetlands or to visit a bird hide, you can lock up your bike and head out on the boardwalk on foot. There are also public toilets available here.

Easy going gravel cycle path. Second half (from south to north) is a Welsh version of Strade Bianche ('Ffyrdd Gwyn'?)
