Join us for a gentle 4.8 km wellbeing walk around Parc Bryn Bach, a reclaimed green space steeped in history and local pride. Once dominated by coal extraction and industrial activity, this landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation. It is now flourishing with wildlife, community connection and opportunity for restoration, both environmental and personal.

Along the way, we’ll pause for short reflections, storytelling, and gentle nature-based activities that encourage us to connect with the land and each other. Expect a calm and nurturing pace, suitable for all abilities.

Walk Highlights Include:

• Lakeside loop – Stroll the serene waterside paths with opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife spotting

• From coal to community – Learn how this former mining site was regenerated into a thriving public park
