Find the Rhyslyn car park.
You leave by the bridge on the right and return by the gate on the left. |
|
 |
This
shot, taken from that bridge gives a good indication of the nature of
the Afan valley |
|
 |
This
stretch is typical of the lower reaches of the path. River below on the
left - main road above to the right. |
|
 |
While
this shot shows how the surface has eroded a little, but nothing too bad
for the most part. |
|
 |
When
you reach this old station you will have just passed the point where you
turn right to access the Visitor Centre... |
|
 |
....with
it's Mining Museum, cafe, information centre and loos ! Click
here to learn more about
the Visitor Centre |
|
 |
As you climb slowly up the
valley beyond the Visitor Centre the valley opens out, but the river is
still far below. |
|
 |
At
this point you are approaching Cymmer and the surface suddenly improves. |
|
 |
No prizes for guessing what
these premises were originally, but now they are very welcome
refreshment rooms.Click here
