Gnoll Country Park is currently undergoing an ambitious £12m project to modernise visitor facilities and restore historic features. The work, which will take approximately a year to complete is designed to enhance facilities within the park for visitors.

During this period, you may encounter some interruptions that could temporarily affect your visit. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience as we work towards welcoming you to the new and improved Gnoll Estate Country Park soon.

Whilst the work goes ahead, temporary catering facilities and toilets will be in place to continue to welcome visitors.

The project is funded by the UK Government through the Vale of Neath Heritage Corridor project. The work at the park will see:

• The demolition of the current ageing visitor centre
• A new fully accessible two storey visitor centre encompassing a modern café, stunning south facing balcony views across the lake, event, meeting and conference facilities and a dedicated children’s soft play space
• The introduction of an exciting new woodland adventure playground designed to be a destination attraction for children and families
• Pond cottage repaired and brought back into use as holiday accommodation sleeping 6 people
• Consolidation and repair works to the Gnoll House ruins
• Restoration work on the park’s spectacular and historic Cascades
• The installation of information and interpretation across the site detailing the history of the park and its cultural and historical importance to the area
• Extensions to recreation and walking routes via a new bridge linking the park with the adjacent Brynau Farm, a wildlife haven of 57 hectares of Woodland Trust land
• Improvements to landscaping and parking
