Take a gentle stroll along part of the former railway track that ran from Tredegar in the north to Newport docks in the south. At nearly four miles long there's plenty of flat and well surfaced path for you to cover. Or you can walk through the woodlands that rise from the river bank and extend up the valley sides. The country park also rises up the hillside above you into the woodlands managed by NRW, offering you a wider range of more strenuous walking. Alternatively you can drop down to the river bank of the River Sirhowy and enjoy a walk accompanied by the sights and sounds of the water rushing past on its way downstream. Look out for the spectacular Penllwyn Tramroad Bridge, complete with original stone sleepers, or discover the Babell Chapel, the last resting place of the poet Islwyn. And just for good measure Sirhowy Valley Country Park also has two of our local nature reserves, Graig Goch and the Flatwoods Meadows, and our traditional working hill farm at Ynys Hywel.
