Craig Yr Aber wood is a quiet area only really used by locals. The walk is a gentle climb up the valley along a gravel forestry road to Upper Craig Yr Aber. You then cross over towards Margam, you can continue to Mynydd Margam itself.
The return leg of the walk takes you on the opposite side of the Craig Yr Aber valley past the old dam and Craig Yr Aber reservoir.

It is actually on Mynedd Baiden where a battle was fought against the Saxons in the late 5th Century, there are Three Celtic ( British) Hillforts Two Roman Forts and British Entrenchments. Bodvoc Stone is actually old written Cymric meaning Buddug Victory. The Original is in the Margam stones Museum.
We love you programmes. Thank you
New subscriber here. I am happy to have just discovered your channel. What a beautiful walk this was. Thanks.
great video 👍🏻 good work, and will give this walk a go 😁
I used to walk around the area and forestry when I was a child and into my twenties with friends and family. There used to be a public log cabin up near the quarry area until it was demolished in the nineties. The deer roam around the area and the old opencast site nearby, I believe the deer are originally from Margam park. Also just up from the entrance is the original carpark, and nearby is remnants of the the old mine and buildings, the mine entrance is bricked up but you can see the water coming out and the orange sediment on the stream bed still present from its industrial past.
Absolutely love these walks. Thank you
Hi Marcus, this seems to be one of the best countryside walks that you have done, yes, its in the trees ,yes, there's not many views, but it so green! I noticed the top part of your walk is very near the Ogwr Ridgeway Walk, looks like another one for you to do?
I do that too with the leafy branch bit , to get ride of bugs.
Here comes Marcus who waves at you with a sprig of leaves ,thankgoodness you came upon nobody my friend,good walk thankyou for your excellent travel logs.
Funny enough our friends told us about this on Sunday. I found this vlog while searching for walks in the area. We have a friend visiting this week and we’ll take him on this walk on Wednesday. Thx for this very enjoyable and concise vlog 👏
Another enjoyable video. I have done this one twice but stopped at the top and did not go on to Cwm Kenfig. (I crossed the open cast to get there, it's my excuse anyway). It can be quite steep in parts getting up there (not surprised you were panting) but at least the paths are good. I have not seen any deer there but as Nigel mentions they are in the opencast and we even get them up in the fields just below Cefn Cribwr occasionally. Lovely walk and nice environment if you like this type of forest walk. Keep up the good work, I am really enjoying this channel.
A nice peaceful scenic walk. Apart from the chain saws and pesky flies.
I walk here with the dog on occasion, and I'm very aware of the horse flies of late summer! Insect repellent is a must
Hey man can you swim in the water here? Also you know many more trails with good places to swim in the south?
ive ran up there up there winding road and ran back through the woods
They are deer fallow deer.
You could wear an Australian hat with the corks on strings keeps the flies away or you could try insect repellant spray you poor thing marcus
