The Tŷ Mawr trail (1 mile)

This walk is approximately 1 mile around. It is easy walking, with tarmac surfaced paths, but there are sloping sections. There are no stiles.

Start from outside the visitor centre, go past the barn, across the yard towards the large gate. Turn right following the ‘Tŷ Mawr Trail’ sign post. Follow the tarmac path around the park.

The viaduct - aqueduct walk (4 miles return)

This walk is approximately 4 miles long and takes about 2 hours walking at a leisurely pace. It is easy walking apart from two sections of steps. There are no stiles. 

Leaving the visitor centre bear left around the front of the barn and head towards the sandstone Cefn Viaduct. The tarmac path takes you through the mini beast woods and past the dovecote. Follow the tarmac path beneath the towering viaduct arches.

Continue along beside the river, and then turn left down the steps at the ‘Pontcysyllte Aqueduct’ signpost. Follow the path alongside the river until the base of the aqueduct. Climb the steps to the top, enjoy the fantastic views, before retracing your steps back to the visitor centre.

The sponsorship scheme was launched in 2006 and was set up to give the public a way of supporting the animals at Tŷ Mawr Country Park. As a sponsor you pay an annual fee for your chosen animal/s and in return you receive a sponsor's pack. This pack includes a personalised certificate showing the animal, the name of the sponsor and the date you became a sponsor.

You’ll be invited to a special sponsor's day, where you can meet your animal in person with supervision by one of our rangers. For example, if you are sponsoring a goat you can feed them on your visit or if you are sponsoring a rabbit you can give them a stroke and have your photo taken.

The park is open every day of the year and the animals can be seen during the day, in the special animal houses or in the fields.

The types of animal you can sponsor are:

• Llama
• Sheep
• Goat 
• Rabbit
• Duck
• Chicken
• Cat
• Guinea Pig

Cost

The cost for sponsoring a llama, sheep, or goat for a year is £15, the cost for all other animals is £10.
