The area is relatively quiet as some cars still drive through that area. It is a beautiful area with a sizable pond that has different duck species. You could try fishing if you got a license. Nearby there is children playground with some swings and other child specific playing seats. This is all adjacent to good size free car parking space. We enjoyed a picnic at the pond side then taken the tracks just outside the parking zone. The path is beautiful where you have the chance to see "the moss" on the ground, between trees and at the base of some trees. The only remark I have about the tracks in general including other hiking tracks in different places across Wales is that the sign/mark system for the paths is not great. You are unlikely to get lost in this valley if gone on hiking track as it is not a massive place you will still find you way back to the parking space. Just a piece of advice, if you decide to go hiking on any tracks in Wales, make sure you got a printed map with instructions on where to go as you can't rely on the road signs.

Had an amazing wildlife day today spotting very large fish, daringly, close to the surface and a kingfisher swooped in front of my daughter and I. There were lots of ducks, dragonflies and a huge bird (not a buzzard but similar size, slightly bigger and charcoal in colour) landed for seconds in front of us off the beaten track. It...
Read moreOne of my favourite places to walk my dogs over the years. There is a playground for the children that is fenced off so dogs can't go in. Also there is plenty of space at the further end of the valley for them to run around . It is a favourite place for photographers as there is lots of bird life and wild life. The lakes are a favourite place for the kingfishers and Herons if you happen to see them fishing. The bottom lake is full of carp and bream and the fishermen from the local club are often seen. There is a notice board for the club that can be seen in the side of the lake on the left hand side as one enters the lakeside from the large carpark. There is a Friends of Moss Valley on Facebook where there are plenty of photos...
