Join me as we walk from the village of Nelson through Trelewis, via the cycle route 47 path. Until we reach a hidden gem, Parc Taf Bargoed.
Or as the locals call it 'The Lakes'.
Situated in the beautiful Taf Bargoed Valley, once the site of three collieries.
The park covers an area of 140 hectares and was the subject of an ambitious land reclamation scheme, that transformed the site into an area blessed with an array of wildlife, plants and insects.
On the lake we will see Swans, Ducks and Canada Geese.
