If anyone is planning to organise dog walks in South Wales, and would like to use TRPD's small, private car park and other facilities as a meeting point, we are now able to take bookings from 28th March.The car park will take four or five cars comfortably, and is adjacent to a footpath that leads onto the hillside, and many paths and tracks, open areas of grassland and wooded areas with some lovely views and opportunities to see wildlife. For the energetic, there are much longer walks nearby and through forestry commission land, too. (A guide can often be arranged, if required, and from the membership of the local ramblers group.) We can also offer the use of a double-burner camping stove for tea/coffee making and even burgers/bacon butties, plus there is a chemical loo. (A bit primitive but... ) Adjacent, there is also a cycle trail, and the property is bordered by a river on the east side where brown trout lurk, should any family members wish to cycle or fish (in season) or even practice their photography or do some landscape painting, while others walk their dogs. We are in the process of creating a small bird garden that will border the car park to the east, and a wide range of birdlife has been visiting the feeders there during the winter months, plus the occasional appearence of a squirrel or two. We are always glad of volunteers who might like to help with that project, or any donations of suitable, unwanted plants. There is no charge for using the facility, although we do have a 'pot', where visitors can make a voluntary contribution towards the calor gas/tea/coffee used etc. Attachments:
