Set in an 18th century landscaped garden, Gnoll Country Park features lakes, recently restored formal cascades, a grotto, a coarse fishery, play area, adventure playground and visitor centre.

The visitor centre explores the history and evolution of the estate and visitors can enjoy beautiful lakeside and woodland walks with fantastic viewpoints at Mosshouse Reservoir and Cefn Morfudd. The Gnoll House stood on a terrace cut into the side of the hill overlooking the Town of Neath. Sadly neglected, it became dangerous and was demolished in 1957. In the 1980`s the lower walls were uncovered and restored. The extensive Cellars were cleared and parts roofed over.

Wrapping up warm, and heading off on a wonderful clear January Sunday,
these are a good selection of the pictures we took on our walk - I hope you enjoy them!
