Parc Penallta - Caerphilly - Wales - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

"You won’t be able to miss ‘Sultan’ the pit pony, the UK’s largest figurative earth sculpture. Three waymarked trails guide visitors though woodland and grasslands where Skylarks and Lapwings breed. Take a stroll through Penallta Marsh, dotted with anthills and see if you can spot the butterflies or enjoy the boardwalk and willow tunnel in the wetlands area. The Countryside Collector Trail offers a fun way for children to discover the park's wildlife.

Punctuated with sculptures, there is always a surprise around the corner at Penallta. The Audio Trail will help you explore and learn more about these sculptures. For fishermen there are two fishing lakes that are stocked with a variety of coarse fish. Fishing is free to members of clubs affiliated to the 'River Rhymney Federation of Angling Clubs' or day tickets are available to those who aren't."
