Abergorlech
Walking and Biking Trails | 10 minutes from the Pub
Situated just outside the village of Abergorlech, these three walking trails and a mountain bike trail go in to the beautiful Brechfa Forest.
‘Gorlech’ is the name of the river which joins the Cothi nearby. Strangely shaped stones have been found in the river, and examples of these ‘Gorlech Stones’ are displayed in the front gardens of cottages in the villages.
There is a picnic site and children’s play area in the car park, and portable toilets.
