Visiting the Site

The site is usaly open all day, 7 days a week, unless we have funerals in progress. In which case it will be closed to the general public on those days. If you are coming a long way to the site it is advisable to phone us the day before, or alternatively we post the dates of upcoming funerals to our facebook group “Friends of Bargoed Natural Burials” where their is a pinned post of upcoming dates.

At any time people may be visiting the graves of their loved ones, and this should be respected.

 

There are grass footpaths that are kept cut and clear but please note that as this is a nature reserve the ground can be uneven in places so wheelchair access is limited. If it is very wet the ground can be soft and muddy in some places. There are benches situated around the site.

If you would like us to show you around the site and answer any questions you have then please telephone to make an appointment.

 

Dogs

While we are happy for people to walk dogs on the site, we do ask dog walkers to remain respectful of others using the site, and remind everyone that some people are nervous about unknown dogs coming up to them, especially if they are large, noisy and not on a lead. We therefore now respectfully request that all dogs, that can’t be recalled, remain on a lead while visiting the site.

Facilities

Due to the nature of the site, there are no toilet facilities on site.

The site is quite a way from any local town but is within walking distance of the local bus route (the 460 Cardigan-Carmarthen). To try and keep emissions down, we would suggest people use public transport or lift share as much as possible when visiting the site. The site itself only has car parking space for a maximum of 20 cars.

Getting Here

By Car: We are situated just off the A484 by the small vilage of Saron halfway between Carmarthen and Cardigan.

 

By Foot: We are 30 minute walk from the town of Dre-fach Felindre and 20 minutes from Saron along quiet country lanes.

 

By Bus: The 460 Carmarthen – Cardigan Via Newcastle Emlyn stops every hour between 8am and 6pm at the Llwyndafydd Inn bus stop in Saron, from which it is then a 20 minute walk along quiet country lanes to the site.
