Overview

A picturesque walk along the former South Wales Mineral Railway Line from Cymer to Glyncorrwg. 

At one time this carried coal from the local collieries to the ports of South Wales for export.

We return via the ‘Ponds’ where we will have a Coffee break.

Toilets are available at the Mountain Bike Centre near the ponds.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go to the Cymer Refreshment Rooms.
