any body know any nice forestry trails?
Discussion
perhaps a slightly random question for a motoring forum here guys! being an overly keen runner wanted to know of any decent places to run near-ish to me, i'm at the university of glamorgan so not toooooooo far away from some points of the brecon beacons, and wanted to know if anyone knew any nice routes i could go running which they could put a point on google maps for me? anything from 3-10mile routes would be ideal (big gap in distances i know! depends what type of training i want to do on the day!). just after something with proper paths (preferrably not concrete though...prefer the forest paths if you know what i mean!?). lots of trees. generally a nice place to go running i guess, or where some people go walking!
can see from here i'm not far from the edges of the brecon beacons national park, so if there is anywhere near here someone knows about please let me know!

Get to the Merthyr Roundabout, carry straight over on to the A470.Park up next to the Storey Arms and run up Pen-Y-Fan

might do that one day in the next week or 2 and see how far i get up without dying! a friend on mine ran up snowdon last year and i'm a better runner than them...so who knows!! still open to any more ideas
thanks so far though
There's plenty of woodland and tracks around Margam Park if you can get there, and there's plenty of good tracks further west in the Afon Forest (all routes are marked). A little bit closer to home have a look around Castle Coch just up the A470 some good walking, cycling and, I guess, running areas.

you sir, are a legend! just seen afan forest vistor centre is about 25mile drive away, and that's where a lot of the routes seem to start!! I will take a trip there tomorrow morning and let you know what i think cheers!

God gave you two feet man, one for the brake and one for the accelerator.

well...i went to afon forest and it was a lovely place...and it wasn't too shabby that to get there i had to drive along the A4107 either! what an epic road!!! i might have got a bit of brake fade though
that's with the green stuff pads and grooved rotors too! still, they did take some punishment....fast straights then some downhill hairpins!what a morning!
