Marteg Valley Trail
This gives you the best flavour of the reserve and its wildlife. Break off to visit the Old Farmyard for more information and facilities.
The Walk Through Time
Slightly shorter, this takes you up to the shoulder of the valley and then back along the river to the Welcome Gateway.
Wyloer Hill Walk
For a good workout, head up steeply for fine views across the Cambrian Mountains. Be prepared - this is strenuous!
Just Want to Stretch Your Legs?
From the Welcome Gateway, follow the sculptures along the Marteg Valley trail and then break left on a path to the road about 400m along. Walk back down the road.
Or drive to the Old Farmyard where there are toilets, refreshments and picnic tables.
You can also wander along the Easy Access Trail or head out along the Oakwood Walk which will only take half an hour.
