Cwm Rhaeadr Woodland
Details
Cwm Rhaeadr is managed by Natural Resources Wales. For full details of the visitor facilities here (including trail lengths and grades) and information about any changes or temporary closures to trails or other facilities please go to the Natural Resources Wales website.
Cwm Rhaeadr means “valley of the waterfall” in Welsh and the valley is home to the highest waterfall in Carmarthenshire. You can catch a glimpse of the waterfall as it pours off the mountain on the Waterfall Walk.
There is also an accessible trail and a short mountain biking trail for experienced riders.
The woodland is made up of native broadleaved trees and non-native conifers including big Douglas fir trees which were planted in the 1940s. In spring, there are carpets of bluebells near the walking trails.
MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL
The Cwm Rhaeadr mountain bike trail is waymarked from start to finish and has been graded as red.
This short trail offers singletrack riding, a descent over a rocky ridge and stunning views over the valley and waterfall.
Please read the information panel at the start of the trail before setting off.
Go to the Natural Resources Wales website for more details about this trail, and to find out what trail grades mean and if there are any temporary closures or diversions.

A site may be closed in extreme weather, such as high winds or snow and ice, due to the risk of injury to visitors or staff.
