Really beautiful view from the visitor centre. Road up isn’t in the best condition so be careful with your car. Reasonable parking prices and there’s toilet facilities. Cute children’s play area also. Cafe is okay. Limited selection and a cramped area around the tills. Worth visiting for a drink with a view!

We visited here just after opening, there is a few separate accessible parking spots near the building. The small ramp from there leads to the well maintained toilets and lovely gift shop that's worth a little peruse! Dogs are welcome inside and out on leads. All the staff were helpful and friendly on our visit, especially the chap that does the ground maintenance, he was busy keeping everything looking top notch and was very warm and welcoming! The cafe is at the lower section. Lots of seating outside as well as indoors. Ordered at the counter and everything was brought out to us when ready. Allergies taken very serious, the chef came out to discuss everything. I had a vegan sausage sandwich, other half had a breakfast baguette, which consisted of 2 rashers of bacon, 2 sausages and egg... it was stuffed to the brim! I had a cup of earl grey with oat milk and he had a Cappuccino. Very reasonable prices. There's walking trails of varying grades. We just stopped in before setting home to enjoy breakfast and the ambience. Beautiful scenic spot to loose yourself in for a while, lovely watching the birds!

Really great place to stop at, lovely walks from the door, good cafe, play area and really good gift shop stocking local crafts and lots of information about the local area. It is at the top of a winding narrow lane but the view is great.

I always park here for my 13km walk (glyn tarrel) and then have a cup of Earl grey upon my return. Lovely place, staff are lovely and the maps and merchandise they have is great.

What a lovely area! This place is a little way away from the main road but the views are magnificent and surrounded by fields and sheep. Toilets, cafe, shop and play park with plenty on benches dotted around for you to sit back and take in the magnificent views. Lots of people in and out and the shop staff were very helpful and friendly and I could hear them recommending walks and areas to visit. Lots of nice bits to buy in the shop and there's 1 window with a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains. Definitely worth a visit.
