Bargoed Woodland Park, Walks Bargoed, Caerphilly County - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

Created from three collieries and surrounded by the communities that worked in them, Bargoed Woodland Park is Caerphilly’s newest country park. Enter the park through one of 11 sculpted gateways, walk to and follow the Rhymney River and it’s hard to believe that this quiet and natural place was once the site of the highest coal tip in Europe! You can explore the fragments of old woodland that escaped the ravages of mining. The river, once trapped in a huge tunnel, is now alive with Dippers, Herons, Kingfishers and (if you're lucky) Otters.
