Park Bryn Bach

Again, off the beaten track Bryn Bach Park really is a park worth visiting. To walk around the lake which is around a mile and quarter, with new paths and a heap of wildlife, is really quite a treat in this normal industrial area.
I take my dogs here who have to be kept on a lead and you obviously have to pick their little packages up, but you don’t mind because your keeping this idyllic place perfect.
You can hire bikes and carts here for mere money and there’s always loads of people skating. Its like Tredegar’s answer to Venice Beach!
There’s paths that go off from the main lake walkway and I’m told you can wander as far as Blackwood if you’re brave enough.
Also, along the walkways there are loads of exercising points that are suitable for the elderly, the young, the fit and the out of shape. Handy little pit stops were Blaenau Gwent Council’s idea of helping the borough get fitter!
There’s always loads going on here. As well as caravan and camp site, there’s options to go water skiing, canoeing or just rowing.
The log cabin that’s pretty much in the middle of the park offers meals and snacks which are incredibly low priced and pretty delicious.
There’s three large car parks but be warned if it’s hot the whole place is busy so you may just have to use the road outside BE CAREFUL though, that road is pretty busy.
There’s a nice large play area for children so after letting them ride round the lake on what ever contraption you feel best, let them really tire themselves out in the park while you have an ice cream and veg on the benches.
Be warned after a certain time (5 in the winter 9 in the summer) gates will be closed so if you turn up late make sure to park outside the park.
I’d recomend this park for a picnic and a wander!
