From discovery walks to storytelling events, there is something for everyone at Bryngarw Country Park

Bird

With over 100 acres of meadows, gardens and mature woodlands, Bryngarw Country Park is a magical place to visit. You can bask in the floral tranquillity of the Japanese Garden, walk through the woods carpeted with bluebells, ramble along the banks of the River Garw looking for dippers and kingfishers, and watch the children enjoy the playground with its famous tower slide.

From cycle trails and pond dipping to discovery walks and storytelling events, there is something to do here all year round. If you fancy a bite to eat, we have an excellent café – but there are other options too: you could use one of the BBQ plinths, which are first come first served, to cook your own feast or enjoy a picnic on the lawn. On rainy days, head to the visitor centre to enjoy the interactive digital displays about the park, the restful wellbeing corner and children’s activities.

Bryngarw has won plenty of accolades, including achieving Green Flag Award status and Green Heritage accreditation, recognising it as one of the best green spaces in the UK. As well as this, the park has VAQAS (Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance) accreditation too.

In 2023, Bryngarw Country Park became a part of the National Forest for Wales, recognising its commitment to creating an exemplary woodland space.
