The Brynna

This wood is a combination of wetland grassland and broadleaf woodland. There is good path access to and through the wood. The wetter sections are protected by boardwalks. Parking facilities are quite limited but there is a bus stop at the end of Llan Road a few hundred metres away. Maesteg accessible by train is nearby and Garth station (on the same line) is even closer. The site was originally purchased in 1999 with areas of wet woodland extended through new planting along with areas of open space enhanced and maintained due to biodiversity value of the open areas being important for species such as Marsh Fritillary.
