Entrance to Upper Sirhowy Valley Community Woodlands, Hollybush
The gateways to the woodlands were designed by Rubin Eynon using Welsh oak, pennant sandstone and iron.
The steam locomotive is a reminder that a busy railway line from Tredegar to Newport once ran through the valley.
The woodlands were opened by HRH The Princess Royal in 2008.

The translation of Yr Hen Llwyncelyn is The Old Hollybush...
