Hi
Going to Cwn Carn in a few weeks and was wondering what the situation with parking is? I will be meeting people there so is there one main car park, it looks like there are a few on the map? Also, I have heard there is trouble with things being stolen from cars, is this a big issue or just a matter of not leaving anything on show?
Thanks

Main car park in the first turning on the right once you're on the forest drive. As for stuff getting nicked….don't leave valuables on display, same as any car park.

It's been a while since I was there, but between 2007 and 2009 I must have been at Cwmcarn at least once a month and never heard of any problems with theft. But as Nick said, it's just common sense and a red rag to a bull will more likely provoke a response.

Careful with the potholes in the main car park to if you have a car with a low front end 🙁

Get there early on a weekend. It gets packed.

There is one main car park where the trail starts and is the pick-up point for the up-lift.

100 meters up the road is the visitor centre and a small car park at the front.

If the main car park is full drive up the road past the visitors centre and the campsite there is a car park by the fishing lake.

If it's nice make sure you're there by 9am…

I think the "problem" with theft is more from the campsite, than the bottom car park. I'll be there in the morning for my first ride in about 3 weeks! 🙂

Okay, great. Thanks Chaps.
