Parc Penallta

Sorry about the slow start! I don't know where this month has gone, but I'm hoping to post lots of walks today to make up for it ^-^

Another favourite of ours, Parc Penallta can be found between Ystrad Mynach and Nelson. I didn't realise just how big it was on our first visit there. It's huge! There are lots of paths to take, flat ones and hilly ones, so each visit there can be different. There are two entrances that I know of, though there may be more. The biggest car park is the one signposted near the Caerphilly council offices. The other quieter car park is just along from the Rowan Tree pub on the A472. Both car parks are unfortunately pay and display - we've met a few park users who have emailed the council to complain. Nonetheless it's still a great walk, with sculptures to make it interesting, and ponds for your dog to splash in.
