    Running

    Taf Fechan Forest's extensive reach covers the valley floor to the south of the Central Beacons massif in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. It is named after the Taf Fechan river, which collects run-off from the emerald slopes above and flows down to meet the River Taff near Merthyr Tydfil. There are myriad trails through this peaceful forest, which also is home to four reservoirs: the Upper and Lower Neuadd Reservoirs on its northern tip; Pentwyn Reservoir in its heart; and the larger Pontsticill Reservoir in its southern reaches.
