Fforest Fawr Car Park

Exllent woodland to walk only. Just above Castle Coch via the pane that runs in front of the castle.There's free parking, but it can get busy.It's a very mature woodland with access for decent prams with big tyres.A very good spot for walking dogs with wide paths for the most.Seems decent for biking also with inclines and fast wide swoops.There are some nice wood sculptures dotted around, especially at the front and along the main sculpture trail.There are no amenities around. But there is a pub near by in TongwynlaisThe only issue I have and it's similar in other places these days is the folk that pick their dog poo up and throw it into the bushes and trees whilst in the bag. Why bother. Just throw the poo on its own if your going to do that. Much better than cheap mom biodegradable bags hanging off tree limbs like Christmas baubles.Apart from that. A great place

Lovely forest walk with sculpture trail. Can be hilly in parts but there is also a cafe in the woods where you can grab a nice hot drink so perfect for Autumn walks.

Great park and sculpture trail. Unfortunately there was a lot of litter including dog poop bags and the parking was a little tight.I did enjoy the bear sculpture where it looked like the baby bear ran into the wrong bit of the daddy bear for a cuddle

Beautiful walk through the trees, fun sculptures and dens for the children to explore. Good for walking and cycling, some breathtaking views. Only snag is the lack of toilet facilities.

A lovely place to take a family with young children on the sculpture trail, with lovely views as well. Additionally, it is great for dog walkers. The only issue if you are walking your dog, is the lack of bins to dispose of your dogs waste.

Love walking my dog here, enclosed space, few other dog walkers and some great trails to follow. Only request would be for another dog poo bin further in on the trail.

Nice short walk, about 1 mile. Non muddy paths. Turn right for tree carvings and view across valley/fields. 3 Bears caves is interesting, old mine entrances. Also hidden gorge off path but becareful, steep drops.

Lovely forest walk with some interesting sculptures. Lack of dog poo bins meant there were many bags discarded all over the place. Some had split open, yuk. I counted twenty bags on a half mile walk.

We did the sculpture trail from the car park. It’s a lovely trail and the placement of the sculptures are quite well distanced; far enough that we keep moving, but not so far that young walkers lose interest and want to return to the car. I think the trail has been here a while because some of the sculptures (and their signs/plaques) could do with a little TLC.The only thing that really spoiled this walk for us was the dog poo. A few dog owners have not picked up after their dogs. A few other dog owners have picked up and bagged, and then at various points discarded poo and bag together. Despite this it was still a wonderful walk.

There are not loads of spaces to park, so on a busy weekend the car park can fill up quickly. There are no amenities.There than a map which shows some of the nice woodland walks. One of which has a sculpture trail which may make the walk more enjoyable for young children.Some of the trails are marked out clearly, others are in the process of being marked so you may want to take a map or have a walking app if you want to follow a set route.
