To access the site, you pass through Merythr Mawr village and head down towards the sand dune and nature reserve car park.

Drive past St Teilo's Church and keep going all the way down the track road until you get the sign for Merthyr Mawr Nature Reserve

When you see the nature reserve entrance, do not drive into the car park, instead turn left immediately before it, through a gate into the private woodland.

Check out our video on Instagram to see the route!

Free parking

After you turn into the woodland, follow the track around to the left. The track quickly splits - take the left fork in the track. This leads to the car park.

Finding the sauna

Once parked, you will see a sign for the sauna. It's a couple of minutes walk from the car park, following the markers and signs through the beautiful woodland and event space.

About

Candleston woods is a 100 acre woodland, just a short walk from Merthyr Mawr sand dunes. There is a private event space within the woods, and that's where our sauna is located. The woodland benefits from a sand based ground, which means it doesn't get muddy!
