We’ll have a short excursion to Pwll Tra, the Pool of Avarice, for a short tea break before ascending through the mountain gate onto Mynydd Henllys Common and then on to Twmbarlwm. We will descend via the Raven Walk and walk back to the visitor centre via the Lake.

[FriendsofCwmcarnFD @CwmcarnFriends]

The walk runs next to the Nant Carn past the lake to the warden’s lodge & then the forest road on the left side of the valley to Blaen Carn before ascending up the footpath just outside NRW land to the stile back into NRW land and then taking the path and forest road towards CP2

[FriendsofCwmcarnFD @CwmcarnFriends]

This year’s Good Friday walk, held in conjunction with Islwyn Ramblers, is setting off tomorrow at 9.30 am from the lower car park at the Visitor Centre

[FriendsofCwmcarnFD @CwmcarnFriends]

There were several reports of motorbikes being spotted in the Carn & Gwyddon valleys & Twmbarlwm over the weekend. Please ensure that you report any sightings to Gwent Police. The more reports the police get the more they can tackle this issue. Please share.

🌳 🌲 Cwmcarn Forest Drive Re-Opened — 21 June 2021 🌳🌲

Thank you to @CwmcarnFriends who joined me to mark the momentous moment when the Drive re-opened.

This has been one of the proudest achievements of my political life — #Islwyn transformed by @WelshLabour’s Government

[FriendsofCwmcarnFD @CwmcarnFriends]

@SteveMorganNRW @NatResWales @CaerphillyCBC It’s fantastic to be able to enjoy the Drive again! Great work 😊

[FriendsofCwmcarnFD @CwmcarnFriends]

It’s good to be back 😊 #cwmcarnforestdrive

[FriendsofCwmcarnFD @CwmcarnFriends]

@scarey13 Unfortunately not everyone is able to walk or ride a bike. It is a site which has always been an attraction for familes, the reinstatement of the drive makes it accessible for all users.

[FriendsofCwmcarnFD @CwmcarnFriends]

We’ve campaigned for so long and we’re so pleased it’s finally happening 😃🎉

[CaerphillyCBC @CaerphillyCBC]

Calling all riders, walkers and adventure seekers📢 The drive at Cwmcarn Forest is reopening on June 21st - and we've got something for everyone. Stay tuned for some sneak peek photos over the coming weeks!

@itsbatesy @Absolutemtb1 Our aim has always been to reinstate the Drive and its facilities to ensure it is suitable and inclusive for all ages and abilities. It is an amazing site and now caters for all 😊

[Rhianon Passmore @rhi4islwyn]

Since I was elected in 2016, I committed that I would work to restore and reopen Cwmcarn Scenic Drive

Working with the Friends of Cwmcarn Forest Drive, Labour run Caerphilly Council and the Welsh Labour Government we achieved the seemingly impossible

We’re incredibly excited to announce that Cwm Carn Forest Drive will reopen to cars on 21st June 🙌

There’s lots of new features to enjoy along the seven-mile route including three new play areas, new all-ability trails, woodland sculptures and plenty of picnic seating areas 🍦

Rydym yn gobeithio y bydd pobl yn deall ein rhesymau dros ohirio hyn. Unwaith y bydd gennym well syniad o bryd y gallai fod yn ddiogel ystyried ailagor, byddwn yn rhoi gwybod ichi https://t.co/34WsOKCCo8

Roeddem wedi gobeithio gallu croesawu ymwelwyr am y tro cyntaf yn ddiweddarach y mis hwn, ond mae’n rhaid i leihau effaith y pandemig coronafeirws a diogelu iechyd pobl fod yn brif flaenoriaeth 👪
