Gelli Aur
Golden Grove
GOOD NEWS!! - As per 28th January, our parkland is (largely) open again!
However, due to recent bad weather, unfortunately the quarry area remains closed for walks for the next few days whilst remedial works are being carried out.
Please adhere to the signage, which has been moved to reflect these changes.
The café (@Caffi Ceirw), car park and toilets are OPEN as usual.
