Walk Description
Today's walk is for families taking short stroll on good surfaces in a beautiful area with ponds to keep the young interested.
Watch out for tadpoles, ducks, fish jumping and wild flowers.
There is a cafe and toilets at the visitor centre.
Start by entering the rock garden to the left of the visitor centre and turn left onto the broad path.
Take care here and along the path as parts of the route are shared with mountain bikers.
Opposite the rugby ground is a platform where you can look both ways along the river.
Return to the path and follow it to the end of the playing field.
Bikes go straight on so here turn left and descend to the first pond.
Keep to the right edge of the pond until you come to a bridge to cross the river.
At the second pond take the left path and watch out for the carved posts.
In June, Orchids can be seen along the way.
At the end of the pond take the path that descends to the left side of the third pool and follow the path around the pond and back towards the second pond.
Use the left path to rejoin that pond and continue on the return journey to the bridge and visitor centre.
Other paths leave the ponds at intervals providing longer walking opportunities.
Ramblers Cymru and Swansea Ramblers provide these routes but accept no responsibility for those walking them.
