Main entrance, Roger Lewis Woodland Garden, Oakdale
The woodland once formed part of Penmaen House farm and much of it was planted in the 19th century by the farm's owner, Roger Lewis. By the 1970s only the present area remained in a deteriorated state.In 2007, with the aid of various grants, the area was improved mainly by thinning non native trees, planting many native saplings, laying a meandering path and constructing new gates. The garden was officially opened in 2008, and has since won various 'green' awards.

Southern boundary of Oakdale
The road north from Penmaen reaches Oakdale, a large village in Caerphilly county borough.
Oakdale is unusual in this area in that there is no Welsh form of its name. The village of Oakdale was an early 20th century creation of industrialists who wanted to exploit the untapped coal reserves of this part of the Sirhowy valley.The fact that Oakdale was largely a planned village can still be seen in the shape of the village's central road (Central Avenue) and transverse roads making a horseshoe shape.
