Llandegfedd Lake Walking Routes

Lovely place, great views and walks. Not far from Pontypool in car 5-10 minutes. Staff were friendly…Nice place to walk and get fresh air with different trails you can take.

Get closer to nature by exploring one of our footpaths and way-marked walks, ideal for kids to play in, climb through and explore.

Choose your own path from a gentle stroll through the fields to a brisk 6 mile hike around the lake and surrounding area. This year we have opened up new pathways making them more accessible, enjoyable and picturesque. We are designated a Site of Special Scientific (SSSI) for our importance to over-wintering wildfowl. To protect wintering birds the Lakeside Trail and Up North and Back Trail are closed annually from 1^st October to 1^st March.

Coed y Pean Trail and Pike Trail are open all year round. Why not pre-order a picnic from our café to take with you on your walk?

Dog Walking

We are a dog-friendly place to visit and they will love exploring as much as you. But in the interest of other visitors, nesting birds and livestock please always keep them on a short lead and out of the water.

Please also pick up any dog waste and dispose of it responsibly. The lake is a precious water supply so need your help to keep it unpolluted. Only leave paw prints and your thanks!
