Details

Accessibility:

There is a car park with space for up to twelve cars, but there are no disability specific spaces. The surface of the car park is rolled stone and should be negotiable for wheelchairs. There are portable toilets in the car park from Easter to mid-September, but there are no disability facilities. The nearest RADAR-accessed toilet is located in Llandovery. The trail around the reserve can be slippery in the wet and is rugged in places, making it unsuitable for wheelchairs.

Brief Description:

The RSPB Gwenffrwd-dinas nature reserve at Ystradffin includes two miles of trails through enchanting alder and oak woodland, past fast-flowing, spectacular rivers. Along the trail you may see red kites, pied flycatchers, redstarts, common sandpipers, dippers and grey wagtails.
