Description
The red sandstone slopes of this area are home to several woods which are easily reached from Cardiff. Coed y Wenallt is a 44 hectare area of designated ancient woodland which is also a SSSI. There is a great variety of bird and other wildlife. You could consider yourself unlucky if you didn't at least hear a Great Spotted Woodpecker, particularly in springtime when the sea of bluebells provides a visual treat.

Access
The Wenallt sits at the top of Thornhill Road, the hill on the way to Caerphilly Mountain. If you are coming from Cardiff, drive up the hill, passing the New House Hotel on your left and then, opposite The Traveller’s Rest pub, you’ll see a small left turn onto a country lane. Take this turning and head down the lane for about a mile.
