Located on the banks of the Taff just south of the M4 motorway, Forest Farm is full of surprises. Sections of the former Glamorganshire Canal still survive here and a wide range of habitats including woodland, scrub, hay meadow, ponds and marshland. The Taff Trail runs through the site and to the south is the restored Melingriffith Waterpump – a relic of the industrial past of the area.
Forest Farm Conservation Centre is home to the Council’s Community Park Ranger Service and acts as a hub site for environmental volunteering across the city’s parks and green spaces.
