Rocking Stone

Historical landmark

👍👍 A little gem in the heart of Pontypridd which is great for walks, mainly of tarmac and some uneven terrain, with children or dogs. Amazing views and lots of history that features the rocking stone. Close by are the famous round houses built by the pioneer Dr William Price. People often mention views, walk, great,

    A lovely peaceful place with some on-street parking nearby. Mostly wheelchair accessible but it's difficult to get right up to the rocking stone, and some of the paths have steep ascents/descents. Popular with local dog walkers.

    Lovely little walk to take the dog or family on with beautiful views & a nice field to play in. It also has some historical monuments and a very important historical memorial that is important to pay our respects to for those who sacrificed their lives for in service to their country.

    Stone is very close to the road. Pleasant short walk around the park. I think most of the views marked with benches are now obscured by trees.

    A lovely place to explore & go for a walk. Lots of well kept paths & lots of wilder areas too. We found a tree swing & lots of rocks & trees to climb. The only thing that stopped it from getting 5 stars is the fact that there was a lot of dog pooh around. The scenery is stunning & it's the perfect place to escape from the hustle &bustle of life.

    Love this place whatever the weather. Good view on a clear day. Great place to take the dogs for a walk. Great place to sit and contemplate.

    A great little walk over to the rocking stone, just above pontypridd. Then past the round houses into pontypridd park. Some great views plenty of seating to relax and take in the view also some local history on information boards.

    Easy to get to with great views to Pontypridd. Not that many tables and chairs to setup on but plenty of grass for a picnic. Very dog friendly park area.

    Lovely views over Pontypridd. Limited accessibility for wheelchairs. You can only go so far along the path before it becomes too steep to keep good control of a wheelchair. Parking can be an issue. No dedicated disabled bays.
