A new walking pack for the Vale of Neath has been launched by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, who are working in partnership with Brecon Beacons National Park Authority to promote the area to a new generation of visitors.
The Vale of Neath has an abundance of diverse waterfalls such as the impressive Clun Gwyn Falls and the picturesque Sgwd Gwladus and has become a popular destination for tourists.
The walking pack features ten walks with an illustrated information card for each waterfall and a detailed Ordnance Survey map showing all the walks.
The walking pack is designed to help visitors to explore an area known to many as ‘Waterfall Country’ using routes that cater for all abilities.
The Council hopes that the new guide will also encourage local people to explore the hidden wonders to be found on their own doorsteps. The unique and attractive images used within the pack celebrate the natural beauty of the area.
‘We are fortunate to have so many wonderful outdoor attractions within the County Borough. ‘Waterfall Country’ offers something for everyone and is a place where the views are forever changing with the seasons. The new walking pack demonstrates our commitment to the development of the tourism sector in the area’, stated Council Leader, Ali Thomas.
The guide is part of a tourism coordination project which has the aim of developing tourism within the Valleys of Neath Port Talbot with funding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development made available by the Welsh Assembly Government through the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007-2013.
The packs are currently available for £3.50 at Aberdulais Falls Tourist Information Centre and the Waterfall Centre in Pontneddfechan.
