Garwnant | Walking Trails at Garwnant Forest Visitor Centre (NRW)

Garwnant Visitor Centre on the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park lies within 400 acres of woodland on the northern edge of Llwyn-on reservoir. The centre is the starting point for walking trails, nature trails, mountain biking routes, and a fully accessible trail for wheelchair users and buggies.

Garwnant walking trails are waymarked from start to finish and the long distance Taff Trail from Cardiff to Brecon passes through the centre, offering a diversity of splendid views.

WILLOW WALK - ALL ABILITY TRAIL - The Willow Walk (half a mile, 1 kilometre) is a gentle all-ability trail that allows easy access to explore the forest for visitors with wheelchairs, electric buggies and pushchairs. The Willow Walk is a gentle all-ability trail with a number of stream crossings. After crossing three bridges, the trail goes through a willow tunnel on its way back to the visitor centre.

The Tree Discovery Trail follows the Willow Walk route and visitors can download the discovery trails leaflet and follow the clues and map around the trail to identify the trees. Take a crayon to make leaf rubbings from the signs.

GARWNANT PUZZLE TRAILS (half a mile, 1 kilometre) - You can discover more about the wildlife and trees that thrive in and around Garwnant by picking up a leaflet at the visitor centre. You can try either the Animal Sculpture or Accessible Tree Trail.

THE WEM WALK (2 miles, 3.2 kilometres) - The woodland trail takes you past the ruins of Wern Farm, which reveals this area's agricultural past. The trail returns to the visitor centre along a forest road which offers some good views along the way.
