Dare Valley Country Park, South Wales

Dare Valley Country Park is just down the road from Aberdare. Set on the mountainside there are gentle sloping pathways taking in lakes and a river with more testing grassy slopes for the adventurous hiker.


A recent activity weekend gave visitors the opportunity to try things they may not have had the opportunity to try before.  They included caving, archery, orienteering, bush craft and a zip wire.




Along the entrance driveway are a stables and caravan park and opposite the car park an adventure playground.  Supervised canoeing can be arranged on the lakes.


The two tier cafe provides a range of snacks and meals (the coffee and walnut cake comes in huge portions) with plenty of seating always available.

Just a wonderful place to wander and enjoy the welsh countryside and wildlife.
