Great place for a snack and a coffee

Very helpful staff who kindly refilled our water bottles - also pointed out that on entering the main carpark there is a public tap next to the unit/toilets on the left.

A small summit above Risca. Known locally as the "Twmp" (the hump), the pimple or the nipple, due to the shape of the mound on the summit.

highly recommend the iced coffee with vanilla and cream on the top...amazing

Friendly staff, reasonable prices, very much recommended.

suitable for all abilities

Cracking local walk, gain height for amazing views and walk over to twmbarlwm

Can get pretty busy during the day in the summer, however there's a good selection of snacks, food and drink available.

need appropriate footwear ,some parts boggy.

A steady climb from the canal at Goytre Wharf to the ridge of Mynydd Garn Clochdy wins spectacular views of the Brecon Bacons Black mountains and the Bristol Channel. The return route weavers woodland and passing a Tavern .The route is over tracks fields lanes. There is one long climb over a mile of level open mountain ridge .You probably wont need a compass but take one just in case

Good level of fitness required, relentless climb.
