The History
The walk at Glyn-Coch provides you with a gentle stroll on regularly mown paths. In about 45 minutes you will get views of the beautiful countryside, our farm animals, and the wildlife that have been lovingly preserved for over 20 years. The woodland itself was planted in 1998 with the assistance of children in the local community.
On leaving the tea garden, a narrow path takes you round the barns to the broad grassy paths next to the first pond. On the right, beyond the pond is the first of our Poplar plantations. At the end of this area, turn left up the hill before turning left again at the top. Across the valley you can see the sqaure tower of Llangynnin Church. Below the church, Grove Farm, once famous for its dairy herd, is now better known for Grovelands Theme Park. Continuing onward, bear back towards Glyn-Coch and eventually straight across the 'sunkrn lane' (once the main road to Llangynnin Church from Pwll-Trap) through the gap in the hedge. The path zigzags here, giving views of other farms and of the wildlife. Crossing the sleeper bridge you pass another pond before reaching the drive.
You can return to Glyn-Coch by turning left along the drive, but in the summer, we strongly recommend that you cross the drive onto the wetland area, which is a sea of wildflowers.
Look out especially for the white flowers and strange whorled leaves of the otherwise Cow-Parsely-like Whorled Caraway, which, though abundant here, is rare in the rest of the UK. Follow any path back towards Glyn-Coch and after crossing two sleeper bridges you go through another poplar plantation before returning through older trees to the tea garden.
