Garn Lakes — Attraction in Blaenavon

I have just recently found these wonderful Garn Lakes.. if you are familiar with Blaenavon and The Keepers Pond and The Big Pit, these lakes are in between both places.

There is a reasonable size carpark, which is free, be aware of the drive into this carpark coming through a small lane, as there isn't any passing point to let a vehicle go past, so one of you will have to reverse..

I parked on the side of the road, there were already 3 cars there, it's quite safe and you have one of the entrances a few yards away from your car.

There are 2 lakes, top and bottom.. it took me about an hour to walk around both, but I was strolling and taking in the amazing views and had a sit on one of the many benches scattered around the lake... It really is lovely here.

There were a few people around, and some who were walking their dogs, had them on leads.. I think it is compulsory for the dogs to be on a lead, after reading a few of the reviews, as there is a a fixed fine if you are caught letting your dog run about, so this might be something to consider if you would rather a walk where your dog can have a run around.

There are a few dog bins and litter bins around, but no toilets, and no cafe, unfortunately.

Nevertheless, a lovely place for a quiet walk, quite a few birds to feed too, ducks, geese, etc, who absolutely loved the dried mealworm I fed them ... You won't be...

A beautiful area that has two lakes which you can walk around. The largest lake has a pathos great for disabled users or pushchairs. The second top lake is passable but can get messy in wet weather... bring your boots. There is a pub nearby and the Blaenavon Steam train . Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on leads during the bird...

Lovely place to walk around it says closes at 4pm but you can walk around the lakes whatever time you like I think it's just the car park that closes but you can park on the road next to the car park. Gorgeous place to walk the dogs get the kids to take their scooters or bikes. Great for picnics too. DOGS MUST B...
