Tranquil beauty

Ynysdawela Nature Park, nestled in the beautiful Upper Brynamman valley, is a place where nature and history exist side by side. Ancient woodlands, meadows and the gentle sound of the river Amman offer the perfect escape from modern life. Free parking nearby.

Ynysdawela supports an impressive range of wildlife such as bats, birds, invertebrates and butterfly. Enjoy tranquil walks and wildlife watching in beautiful woodland scenery. A former industrial site, the area has been transformed over time into the rich biodiverse habitat that exists today. Ancient oak trees and new woodland species echo the constant sound of the gently flowing river Amman, the park has an unspoilt peaceful character, perfect for a gentle stroll along its leafy corridors.
