Very nice country park easy parking and cheap 2 hours £2 3 hours £3, good variety of walks on a mix of tarmac and woodland trails.
A picturesque country park, Well kept. Stunning scenery. Really enjoyed taking the pictures of the dinosaur island, my young nephew was fascinated with them. Shame we could get on the island at the time, due to a broken bridge, awaiting a repair. An exquisite cafe (Dwy Afon) Located at the top of the car-park as you pull in. A beautiful little gift shop next door to the cafe. - Some truly wonderful art in there. The woman in there is super friendly, and very knowledgeable of where to visit locally. - We brought a pumpkin spiced candle, and it smells amazing. Plenty of parking spaces. Blue Badge Holders, Park FREE all day. Others, It’s Pay & Display.
I visited Craig-y-Nos Castle Country Park recently and, while the maps were very useful and the routes looked appealing, I left feeling disappointed. I was saddened to see so many trees cut down and certain routes closed off. Parts of the park were beautiful, the lake, the original pavilion, and the historical information were all highlights, but for me, that was where the experience ended. I can imagine it being a lovely spot for a picnic in good weather, but I won’t be returning until the aftermath of the tree felling has been addressed. It was quite sad to see.
Absolutely love it here brought my baby niece up she had so much even thou it rained we made the most of it had so much fun
Been for a nice walk here with our two dogs. Parking was £2 for 2hrs and could pay by cash or card. Pretty good underfoot with tarmac paths for most of the walk depending If you go off piste or not. Some ponds with crystal clear water and ducks to walk around add interest. Walk around wasn’t that far probably about 1-1.5km. Very picturesque walk and toilets and a cafe available at the car park, didn’t use either so can’t comment on what they were like.
A beautiful setting for a walk. Climbing to the top of the hill that overlooks the country park is a killer but the view is so worth it! We loved the access to the river for our dog and I can imagine in the spring/summer it must be so beautiful with the flowers and plants being in bloom. It's also great that it's fully wheelchair accessible to the river and some parts of the park. The only mar on the day was the fact that the gift shop was closed on the one day we chose to go (the weather was glorious so we knew we'd get a good view) so that was a shame. We didn't go into the coffee shop but we did use the toilets which were clean. You can pay for your parking by either card or coins. Plenty of parking.
Great place to visit for a walk with family. Dog friendly, so much space to have a quiet moment. Wonderful views all round of the hiils and the castle. Take a picnic as the café can be a bit expensive, plenty of parking, not badly priced if staying for more than 2 hrs. If you are a little unsteady under foot take your time, and there are plenty of seats.
Beautiful, well kept park complete with ponds and a river. Option to purchase a bag of feed for the ducks, other pond dwelling birds. Nice little cafe with a menu which includes vegetarian options. Plenty of picnic areas as well as toilets and parking on site. The park also has the former residence of opera singer Adelina Patty. A pleasant, relaxing day out.
Beautiful park with a wide variety of rivers, woods and open parkland. There is an easy route with a hard surface gravel track all the way around with lots of other more adventurous routes. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables around to stop and rest or eat a picnic if you bring one. The car park is cheap to stay in, only £2.50 for the day. Toilets facilities are available as well as a cosy coffee shop to get refreshments.
