Beautiful place to visit. Walking around the reservoir is lovely. Some areas were a bit boggy even in dry weather, so suitable shoes needed. Lots of areas to park available.

Enjoyed the walk and visit to the cafe comfortably in less than 2 hours which is relevant for car parking purposes. We did go round all sections of the park. Rhododendrons were in full bloom at the end of May 2026. Easy walking duck pond, other pond and river with bridges. Dogs enjoy it as well.

Only £3 for all day parking! Strongly recommend Craig-y-Nos Country Park. Fantastic views, lots of history and a real community vibe throughout from Staff to upkeep. Only 10 minutes away from local Lodges on our stay, this was a real hidden gem. We stayed for about 4 hours, stopping for chats and relaxation after a short 3k walk. Great after climbing Pen-Y-Fan the day before.

A picturesque country park, Well kept. Stunning scenery. Really enjoyed taking the pictures of the dinosaur island, my young nephew was fascinated with them. Shame we could get on the island at the time, due to a broken bridge, awaiting a repair. An exquisite cafe (Dwy Afon) Located at the top of the car-park as you pull in. A beautiful little gift shop next door to the cafe. - Some truly wonderful art in there. The woman in there is super friendly, and very knowledgeable of where to visit locally. - We brought a pumpkin spiced candle, and it smells amazing. Plenty of parking spaces. Blue Badge Holders, Park FREE all day. Others, It’s Pay & Display.
