Itinerary description

This is the correct route of the Coed Morgannwg Way as best as I can tell. It is not the route on my Explorer Ordnance Survey Map but it is based on the waymarks on the ground, as it is clear there have been footpath diversions which the map has not yet caught up with. My walk along the trail is described in http://johnponcoedmorgannwg.blogspot.co.uk/. The actual route I walked is a little different and if given by trail https://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=15514795, this alternate site also has some of my photos.

Waypoints

Danger sign blocking path

This is where a danger sign on the old footpath route, prevents you going any further. The footpath has been diverted

Path blocked by brambles etc

Start of a diversion of the the footpath

There is a post chopped down at this point. I initially thought it was an act of vandalism but it appears that it was to stop people taking the old route, instead you continue along the track along the diverted footpath.

Afan Forest Visitor Centre Cafe

There is a cafe, campsite for tents, and mining museum. The campsite is behind the visitor centre. There are also lots on mountain bike paths and mountain bikers.

Margam country park

There is a cafe, castle, abbey ruins, car park and orangery here

Bryn Bettws Lodge

Dare Valley Country Park facilities

There is a cafe, car park, campsite and small hotel at this point
