YOU ARE HERE: HOME CRAIG Y NOS COUNTRY PARK
Breathtaking natural beauty
Nestled in the stunning Swansea Valley this hidden gem is surrounded by the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons National Park). 40 acres of meadows, woodlands, ponds and the gently flowing River Tawe make this location an excellent countryside escape. Parking is pay and display.
Wander along the designated scenic walking trails which take you through a mix of dense woodland greenery and open countryside. Stroll through wildlife infused meadows or stop and have a picnic beside the river Tawe. Why not visit the ponds and feed the ducks or relax on the cafe terrace and take in the stunning backdrop of the surrounding Brecon Beacons.
Experience the beauty, history, and tranquility of one of Wales’s most spectacular country parks.
