Plymouth Great Wood: the Llewellyn Avenue approach

About this outing

Cardiff Council’s Ely Trail guide identifies the southern part of Plymouth Great Wood as accessible from Llewellyn Avenue in Ely. The wood is public open space, given to the city for public recreation, with disused stone and limestone quarries still visible in its southern section. Choose this local approach for a woodland outing rather than treating the entire seven-mile Ely Trail as an Ely neighbourhood walk. The wider trail runs between Cardiff Bay and St Fagans and includes road sections and a diversion described by the council. Keep children close around uneven ground and quarry features, and check current council route advice before setting off.
