Overview

Tiger Bay Ramblers welcomes everyone on its walks and this year we are celebrating the first anniversary of our new walking and hiking group for people in their 20s-30s based in South Wales.

If you are under 40 years of age and looking to have fun, get fit, and meet a welcoming bunch of people, then this will be the ideal group for you!

Hensol Forest dates back to around 1600.  Hensol Forestry car park is a slightly more recent addition and will be our start point for this seven mile walk through countryside to our lunch stop in the village of Pendoylan.  On our return we will pass Pysgodlyn Lake, a Site of Special Scientific Interest which supports several species of dragonfly and damselfly as well as rare medicinal leech.
