The 20 Best Public pools & Water park in Neath

“Friendly and very knowledgeable staff who always go the extra mile to provide an excellent service. Plenty of different equipment to use and easy parking.”

“Best pint of madri I’ve ever had”

“My grand children both have swimming lessons here. Lovely new building big family changing rooms . Small soft play area. Friendly staff. Cafe a bit expensive.”

“I contacted Paul a couple of weeks ago to recover our pub pool table in readiness for the new league year. It was done yesterday - in and out no fuss, friendly guys, professional and tidy work.”

“We chose this trail for our very first walk in Wales. I travelled from Taunton, which took around two hours by car. The journey was mostly along dual carriageways, passing through Bristol. The final stretch was along a rural road, narrow enough that two cars could only pass with care. Parking The car park Cwm Porth - Four Waterfalls Car Park where we stopped was well equipped with changing rooms, toilets, a small shop, and a coffee shop serving sandwiches. The capacity wasn’t very high, so on bank holidays it’s best to arrive early to secure a space. There is, however, another car park nearby as a backup. The Trails The area offers two marked trails – red and green. Completing both takes around four hours in total. The red route is a loop. To see four of the waterfalls, you’ll need to leave the main trail, descend around 200 steps, and then climb back up afterwards. The green route is an out-and-back path. You follow it to see two waterfalls, then retrace your steps to rejoin the main trail and complete the route. Waterfalls There are four waterfalls if you cover both the red and green routes. The first one is tall and set at a distance – you can view it from afar, though a few people managed to find a way closer. The second and third waterfalsl are on the green route. I even saw a group of teenagers diving into the pool at the base and swimming. The final waterfall was, in my opinion, the most spectacular. By that point you’ve already completed more than two-thirds of the trail, so the decision to descend the steep steps and climb back up again isn’t an easy one – but I strongly recommend it. The effort is absolutely worth it. After visiting this last waterfall, it takes about half an hour to return to the car park. Difficulty The main route itself is fairly easy and takes about two hours, which makes it moderate overall. Adding in the three stair descents to visit the waterfalls raises the difficulty to moderate–hard, especially when combined with the length of the walk. Recommendations Avoid visiting during busy times, as it’s harder to enjoy the scenery with large crowds. Wear proper walking shoes – they don’t need to be technical, just comfortable for long distances. Bring plenty of water and a hat, as some parts of the path are exposed to direct sun.”

“Stunning waterfall, more of a carm one, although I'd like to see it after a few days of rain. Good footwear needed for all these waterfalls. Highly recommend”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the park. The new building is looking absolutely fab. Loved all the sculptors in the woods we spent time to take photos. The dogs thoroughly enjoyed it to”

“Henrhyd Waterfalls is situated in Neath, South Wales. It is a adventurous trip to get the waterfalls, especially in a rainy day. Waterfall is not much bigger In summer time, but beautiful in rainy times. There is a free car park. If this car park is full, we can use a pay & park (£5). Waterfall is not much bigger In summer time, but beautiful in rainy times. There is a food hut, which serves English food, snacks and Ice creams. Also serves traditional Indian food as well. Parippuvada, uzhunnuvada, sukhiyan, vegetable samosas and chicken biryani etc..”

“I had the most lovely experience visiting this amazing natural space in Neath. The area of the park is huge, I spent more than 4 hours walking there and still left many areas without exploring them. The lake brought me back memories of the movie The Lake House! that's how beautiful and romantic this is, please take your dog with you if you're coming here, he will thank you later. The Park was almost empty today because it was raining so much but I didn't care I actually think the experience under the rain was even better. I'm coming back soon.”

“Nice safe area for a walk. Plenty of parking on a weekday. Building and construction works ongoing at the time but there’s a nice cafe and toilets in a temporary cabin with seating outside. Children’s play area and plenty of open space for picnics and there’s marked out proper paths to walk around the lake as well as some woodland trails.”

“Craig Gwladys is right on our doorstep. Free parking with Lots of area to explore. Lots of fresh water streams, which is ideal for dogs.. I'd recommend packing a picnic bag and enjoy exploring the vast area.”

“It was an amazing day and night out the atmosphere is phenomenal and the bar staff are friendly and approachable”

“Great little place to go for a Sunday walk. Lots of different routes to explore but wear sensible footwear as it can get pretty muddy. I started at the top and worked my way to the waterfall first then doubled back and stuck to the right side of the stream. You eventually get to a large open area with houses backing on to what turns into a small river. Follow that and it will take you to another waterfall and some abandoned run down buildings. You can carry on a bit further and you'll come to a rail bridge and some historical landmarks. I took the same route back but you could get to a main road and follow it round to the car again if you wanted.”

“Very quiet but it's a nice little boozer with a friendly owner - I'll come back again when I'm in the area”

“Always have the best welcome, such good classes and variety! My children love the staff and the classes they have helped her develop so much! The food is delicious and the staff are so helpful! Even if you don't want to do anything the vibe is so chilling with the best coffee and watching the world go by!”

“This park looks a spitting image of the Microsoft Windows background picture. A nice place to take a stroll, there are some dog walkers around, but otherwise it is quite empty.”

“Lovely little walk here. Small, rough surface car park, but the rest of the paths have smooth coverage for a buggy or chair. There's also a small shop, a short walk up the street, for snacks or a drink.”

“A great gym! Has excellent equipment and the staff are always happy to help and show you how to use anything there. Parking can be tricky at peak times but it’s almost never a big problem.”

“My daughter has come on leaps since attending. Previous swim lessons do not compare at all. Far smaller groups which allows for a more structured swim focus. A great variety of times available to suit personal needs. Very accommodating and understanding. Great customer services. Great payment format and great communication. All very professional.”

“This is an excellent place. My son loved it and it was cheap too!”

“Nice and peaceful place, great for walks.”

“My baby loves it there grass needs to be cut lol more equipment and it's nice to see the glass has been cleared as it was a dangerous place but has got better”
