Glasdir Copper Trail at Coed y Brenin Visitor Centre (NRW)

Glasdir Copper Trail (three quarters of a mile, 1.2 kilometres).
The trail starts from the Glasdir car park or disabled access from disabled only car park.

From the car park cross the road into Ty’n y Buarth meadow and picnic site and follow the red trail down to the Afon Babi, where local folklore says a fairy baby was exchanged for a local farmer’s child.

Cross the Afon Babi at its lower road bridge and then take a circular tour of the old copper workings rising to the upper tier where a viewpoint offers a vista over the whole site and river valley below.

You can extend the walk to reach the Forest Garden from here – pick up the
green waymarkers from the upper level.

The Copper Trail has a number of flights of steps both on the steep ascent and descent through the old workings.

All ability access to the viewpoint is available from the disabled only car park at Pont Llam yr Ewig.

The trail is built to all ability standards with an easy gradient and is suitable for wheelchair users.
