The route climbs steadily above the valley floor to reach the remote Lluest Wen Reservoir, with wide views over the surrounding moorland and a strong sense of South Wales\u2019 industrial and natural heritage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maerdy to Lluest Wen Reservoir &#8211; a great dog walk <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Maerdy to Lluest Wen walk is a particular favourite for my dogs, largely because of the amount of water along the route. The river winds gently alongside the path, offering plenty of opportunities for the occasional splash and play. Castell Nos Reservoir provides the perfect spot for Gwen to enjoy a paddle while Halle can take a proper swim. The quietness of the area is another real advantage \u2014 it\u2019s often wonderfully peaceful, allowing the dogs to enjoy the freedom of the hills without the bustle of busy park paths. The mixture of forest tracks, open moorland and riverside sections keeps the walk engaging, with plenty of new scents and natural features for them to explore along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"785\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222186.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222186.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222186-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222186-768x603.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maerdy to&nbsp;Lluest&nbsp;Wen&nbsp;Reservoir Step by Step Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to park: Free parking is available at Maerdy Gateway Memorial Garden (CF43 4DD).<br><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maerdy-to-lluest-rervoir-map-1024x486.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maerdy-to-lluest-rervoir-map-1024x486.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maerdy-to-lluest-rervoir-map-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maerdy-to-lluest-rervoir-map-768x365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maerdy-to-lluest-rervoir-map.jpg 1183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Distance: <\/strong>6 miles<br><strong>Duration:<\/strong> Approximately 2 hours 40 minutes<br><strong>Terrain:<\/strong> Leisurely route on tarmac and well-maintained forestry gravel paths<br><strong>OS Maps Link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/30855399\/maerdy-to-lluest-wen-reservoir-?lat=51.68963&amp;lon=-3.50888&amp;zoom=12.3241&amp;style=TopoAuto&amp;type=2d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maerdy to Lluest Wen Reservoir<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow the footpath down towards the river, where the route begins by tracing the riverbank through peaceful woodland surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222187.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222187.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222187-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222187-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you continue, you will notice glimpses of the former colliery tramline, a reminder of the area\u2019s industrial heritage.

Above the filter house lie the remains of Castell Nos, a medieval Welsh castle dating back to around 1240. Although little of the structure survives today, its elevated position offers a sense of its former strategic importance. A circular blue plaque near the filter house, commemorate the location. The plaque was unveiled in 2009 by the Mayor of Rhondda Cynon Taf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222184.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222184.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222184-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tracey-purnell-dog-walks-1000222184-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short distance further along the path is Castell Nos&nbsp;Reservoir, where the landscape opens to reveal expansive views of the surrounding hills and forestry. At the base of the&nbsp;reservoir&nbsp;spillway, remnants of old colliery workings can still be seen, including the remains of a tramway bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route then continues towards&nbsp;Lluest&nbsp;Wen&nbsp;Reservoir. As the river narrows, the water gathers pace, creating a series of impressive waterfalls that provide a striking and memorable conclusion as you retrace your steps to this scenic valley walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_a3bb3ef0ea053cf59744fa889f9bfd5b\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/30855399\/Maerdy-to-Lluest-Wen-Reservoir\" class=\"Button Button--blue \" target=\"_self\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tMaerdy to Lluest Wen Reservoir &#8211;
