Discover Parc Slip Nature Reserve and Visitor Centre
Welcome to Parc Slip
The 300 acre Parc Slip Nature Reserve has something for everyone. In 2019 the reserve was named as a Discovery Gateway site for the Valleys Regional Park project. As a Gateway Site, Parc Slip is one of the places where you can first discover the cultural, industrial and environmental heritage of the valleys.
As this is a nature reserve we ask that all dog walkers keep their dogs on a lead at all times.
Walk on the WILD side
Parc Slip is home to a variety of different habitat types supporting many different species for wildlife enthusiast, a safe area for families to discover and enjoy nature, well -maintained traffic-free cycle tracks, including a 4km stretch of Sustrans National Cycle Route 4 for cyclists and over 10km of tracks for dog walking.
There are accessible paths on the Nature Reserve for wheelchairs, walking sticks and for those with visual impairment.
Our Visitor Centre and Cafe is open 7 days a week. We are delighted to work in partnership with Karrie's Coffee Co who are serving delicious coffee, soft drinks, hot and cold food, and mouth watering cakes! Pop along to say hi to Ben and the Team!
