About this wood

Park Wood is a long, narrow belt of woodland occupying the crest of a low hill and overlooking the nearby town of Talgarth. An Ancient Woodland Site, the wood was bought from the Forestry Commission in February 1985 with funding assistance from The Countryside Commission, Talgarth Town Council and other Woodland Trust fundraising. Park wood is a major landscape feature for many miles to the west and north. It is part of Brecon Beacons National Park and is of reasonable scale in the surrounding hilly landscape.
