Full Walk Details

There's a choice of trails here, and leaflets and maps can be picked up at the visitor centre.

As a quick guide:

The Nant Carn trail is just under a mile and is stile-free. There are a couple of narrow kissing gates that are tricky with buggies and impossible for mobility scooters.

The Bluebell trail is a bit longer at 1.2 miles, with an option to take a waterside walk as well. The path goes quite close to the cycle track so watch out for this.

And there are also sections of longer paths, a 12 mile circular walk and many possibilities in between!
