A walk through Briton Ferry Forest and up the mountain. Another beautiful country walk in South Wales.

The walk takes you from the car park near Jersey Park in Briton Ferry through Britton Ferry Forest and up the side of the mountain. The first part of the walk is uphill.
The walk then takes you around the top of the mountain before dropping back down to the car park. There are alternative paths to explore and the short diversion to the reservoir.
The 4-mile walk takes about 1 and a half hours

Love these walks, but full of spirits

That mountain was my playground when I was a kid in the 70s. The pylon at the top of the firebreak is near to the look out (a craggy outcrop) where you can see right across Baglan, the bay, Mumbles and Swansea. The reservoir was very large expanse of water, where we’d fish for small fish. Or for me, usually fall in… Bygone days, sadly missed 😢

That looks like a wonderful hike Marcus. Fantastic scenery and beautiful scenery. Sometimes the most beautiful gems are in front of our doorstep. Great video!

Yes, it is surprising what's on your front door.

If you’re ever in the area check out the Garth Mountain, lovely views of Cardiff and the valleys from there.

Hi Marcus at around the 12:08 mark there is a faded path way you can take on the right and it will take you to a little place called the lookout where you can see all of Baglan, sand fields and most of Port Talbot It’s a real hidden gem

I wonder if the children's sci-fi TV series you mentioned was 'The Changes' from 1975?

@marcuswalks Год назад

That could be it, I'll look it up. Thanks.

@@marcuswalks You are welcome Marcus, from Missouri USA‼️I told my niece about you, she has loads of Welch dna from her fathers side. I have some also, along with mostly Scotland-Irish. God Bless your day🙏

@@joanneweislocher8540 Thanks, I'll tell her. She doesn't come on the walks I film although she does come on many other walks. Yes, we both love the chips!

I'm Briton Ferry born and bred, I love this walk. At the highest point by the big stones, you can go left and up even higher. You get one hell of a view. Then you can go even higher and you reach an iron age hill fort. You can still see the mounds or ramparts and a grave dug out. It's awesome. If you want to see it let me know. Cool videos man! 👍

@marcuswalks 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info, I will try and take another walk there and have a look,

Yeah I can understand being scared of pylons.

The res was lovely in it's heyday before they destroyed the main wall.people enjoyed going their ,wild camping ,fishing and swimming. But they didn't like people enjoying themselves for free .so they destroyed the res . It's a great shame because they used the water via helecopters to put out forest fires . No one to my knowledge drowned in the res ., which is good news.
