Cwm Clydach National Nature Reserve, National nature reserve in South Wales, United Kingdom.
The 24.8-hectare reserve encompasses steep valley slopes with dense beech woodlands and a network of flowing streams within Clydach Gorge.
Natural Resources Wales manages this protected area, which was designated by the Nature Conservancy Council to preserve its ancient semi-natural beech woods.
The site maintains educational panels throughout the reserve to inform visitors about local wildlife, plant species, and conservation methods.
Multiple walking trails of varying difficulties connect to public roads and the national cycleway, with designated parking areas near the main entrance points.
The reserve contains rare whitebeam trees growing on limestone outcrops and supports bird species such as pied flycatchers, nuthatches, and green woodpeckers.
