Discover a hidden gem nestled in the South Wales Valleys—Cwm Clydach Country Park in the Rhondda is opening its arms wider to welcome more visitors! Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, this 166-acre park, situated on the historic Cambrian colliery site, is set to become even more accessible with plans for an ‘overflow’ car park. Imagine an extra 50 parking spaces for you to begin your adventure.
Perfect for families and dog walkers alike, Cwm Clydach offers two captivating lakes: the lush, wildlife-rich “bottom” lake and the serene “top” lake. While the existing small car park has served visitors well, the proposed expansion will not only add spaces but also introduce new disability and electric vehicle parking bays—making it easier for everyone to experience this much-loved oasis.
Whether you’re here for a leisurely stroll, a scenic picnic, or a hearty meal, the Cambrian Lakeside Café Bar awaits with its delightful menu. From traditional Sunday roasts to Welsh curries, plus tempting coffee and cakes, there’s something to satisfy every palate.
The proposed development is currently under public consultation until February 25. If approved, it promises to enhance the already amazing visitor experience. So, why not make a plan to explore this picturesque corner of Wales? Let the tranquility of the valleys recharge your spirit. Stay tuned for updates as Cwm Clydach prepares to welcome more nature lovers and explorers! 🌿✨
