The building is now a Visitor Centre (open

refreshments and information leaflets along with

Clywedog Valley Trail
Perhaps walk along the Clywedog Valley Trail to Nant Mill
Visitor Centre and discover the history of the wood.
Following a section of the original Wilkinsons Wagonway,
the Clywedog Valley was once a busy industrial route with
horse-drawn wagons taking their heavy limestone load to
the blast furnaces.
The route now takes you through lovely woodland with
historical features and relaxing places to rest. Nant Mill
Visitor Centre (seasonal opening) offers a play area for
young children and a shop for light refreshments.
