Walking & Cycling
Walks around the area; we have waterproof maps of our favourite walks from the station (three examples can be found below) and we're also a Cycle Hub, please see us for details and purchases.

River Walk / Roadside reserve walk and Prince Llywellyn's cave are available at the Centre.

Walk 1: The Dingle

Duration: 1 hour

Terrain: A pleasant walk mostly on good paths.

Beginning at the Erwood Station Craft Centre, cross the road and take the gravel road opposite, this leads to Oak Villa farm on the right. Follow the path up a gentle incline and continue ahead as far as Nelfa farm on the left. Do NOT go into the farm, but at the telegraph pole on the right is a small path leading down to a waterfall in a pretty dingle.
Cross the stream at the fording place and continue up into the next field following the path through the wood to the second bend on the Painscastle road. Turn right onto the B4594 and continue down through some hairpin bends as far as the junction. Here turn right onto the B4567 and follow the road back to the starting point at Erwood Station Craft Centre.

Walk 2 – The Cannon

Duration: 2 hours

Terrain: Alternative routes vary in difficulty

From the Erwood Station Craft Centre turn right and continue ahead for 300 yards to the Painscastle road (B4594) as far as the second bend, then just past Sunnybank Cottages turn right and follow the path (SP) Ty Isaf Farm to the first gate.

Just before the second farm gate keep to the path on the left along the hedge, following the old Postman’s route and cross the field. This path joins the track to Garth Farm and leads up to the mound and the cannon which overlooks Erwood village. The story is told that the old cannon was captured by the locals and taken to Aberedw, but it was stolen from there by night and erected on the hill pointing across to Erwood where it is today.

Alternative route: Follow the road in the direction of Painscastle, and then just before the Llandeilo Graban junction take the minor road leading to Garth Farm. Continue on this road past the Old School House and then as far as the second farm which painted a bright orange. At this point go between the farm and the cottage on the right. Here is a gate leading up to the cannon with fine views of Erwood village from the top of the hill.
From here retrace your steps to Garth and follow the road past Garth Old School House as far as the next junction. Turn left and follow the B4594 down through the bends to the minor road ahead. Turn right onto the B4567 and return to the Erwood Station Craft Centre.

Walk 3: The Skreen

Duration: 1 hour

Terrain: Along a well-defined but sometimes overgrown path

This walk was once part of the old Drover’s route and is now rather overgrown and occasionally becomes difficult to negotiate.

At the Erwood Station Craft Centre entrance take a right turn along the B4594 towards Painscastle. Follow this road to the first bend, taking the footpath on the right which leads to the Skreen. Go past the signpost on the right and take the left footpath which runs parallel to the road just below.

The path is clearly visible even though it becomes narrow and is partly blocked by a steep barrier of stones. There are views across the valley to Erwood village and the River Wye.
