Accessibility

"There are three entrances to the site from the car park, all of which are signposted.

The route to the left of the car park, with the wide kissing gate, is surfaced and suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. It is a short, circular path through an area that’s almost a perfect miniature of Green Castle Woods. There are also a couple of lay-bys with short benches and pull-in spaces for wheelchairs.

A diversion to the right of the car park is suitable for walkers and connects with the main trail 200 metres further on.

The main Wild about Woods circular trail is straight ahead but isn’t suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs, and the path can be muddy. It takes about an hour to walk round, while the surfaced route take approximately twenty minutes.

Two other entrances can be found off the B4321, and a further entrance where the Carmarthen coast path enters the site at the south-east corner – all accessed by stiles.

The closest public toilets are in Johnstown on the B4321 less than 3km (2 miles) away, but these don’t have facilities for the disabled. The nearest RADAR key disabled toilets are at various car parks in Carmarthen."

Brief description

"Green Castle Woods is made up of three woods: two ancient oak woods and a more recently planted woodland. This mix of ancient and newly created woodland, botanically rich meadows and hedgerows is a haven for wildlife. Visit to see bluebells in spring, wildflower meadows in summer and russet hues in autumn, and admire the waterfall during winter when it’s at its finest.
