🍂 As the seasons change, so does the way we operate here at Llandgefedd…

🦆 As a designated SSSI or Site of Special Scientific Interest, the lake is closed to all water activities from 1st November (reopening 1 March 2025) to protect over-wintering wildfowl.

👍 Land activities (archery, axe-throwing, laser-clay shooting) remain available throughout winter (on request - please call 0330 0413 381).

☕ The Visitor Centre Café continues to serve delicious food and drink.

One of Cwmbran and Torfaen’s hidden scenic gems 💎 Blaen Bran Community Woodland is just a 5 minute drive from Cwmbran town centre and can be accessed via a lane in Upper Cwmbran, near to the The Queen Inn. There’s some wonderful walking routes to explore and the views of Cwmbran, the Severn Estuary and as far as Avonmouth on a clear day make the walk up the incline worth it! ☀️ #cwmbran #torfaen #wales #cymru #explore #exploringwales #summer #summerholidays #walking #walk #explorepage #walesbytrails #walesway #walescollection Cwmbran Life Wales
