A really lovely walk through the woods to this beautiful little spot. perfect for a picnic with the family and dogs.
There is no official parking for this walk. Instead you have to plug in the postcode: SA13 2SR which will take you to Brombil barns situated a residential cul-de-sac on the other side of the M4 motorway. The start of the walk begins at the end of the residential road. Pass the cottage on your right-hand side and through the first metal swing gate.
Follow the path alongside the river as it gently rises through the forest. After around 1 kilometre and having passed over two wooden footbridges you will reach a second metal swing gate. Once through the second gate you have two options;
Option 1 - The steeper mountain path route
Bear left and begin climbing up the steeper path which will give you views over the reservoir. You should reach the first viewpoint after around 250m. From here you can continue to hike up the zig zagging path and back around to the second viewpoint located directly in front of the reservoir. This is around 1km in length and should take around 15 minutes.
If you didn’t want to do that you can drop back down to the second swing gate and take option 2 which I have outlined below;From the second swing gate, head right and cross the river via the stepping stones and walk for a further 300m upstream to the base of the reservoir.
From here you can easily walk around the entirety of the reservoir in around 5 minutes.
Both trails do link up via a steep track consisting of mud a rocks around the back of the reservoir, meaning you are able to complete one big loop if you wanted.
I would recommend tackling this full loop his as you are rewarded with terrific views over the reservoir and back towards Swansea.
Due to the algae, the extremely cold water which can cause your body to go into shock, and unseen dangers below the surface , Welsh Water advises you don’t swim here.
However if you really did want to go for a dip there is safe access into the reservoir via its gently sloping concrete shoreline located on its south bank. Ease yourself in slowly and make sure you can quickly and easily get out of the water
Whatever you do dont go jumping or diving into the water as this is recipe for disaster.
There were several youths splashing about in the water while I visited however I can imagine the algae is the least of their worries.
