Overlooking the valley of Dyffryn Crawnon
The Forum is a not-for-profit organisation whose
membership consists of representatives
from Talybont and Llangynidr Community Councils, Tredegar Town Council,
Llangynidr Historical Society, Forest Enterprise, the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority
and individuals.
The aim of the Forum is to secure the long-term conservation of the Tramroad.
It has commissioned a management plan from industrial archæological consultants.
The plan addresses the Tramroad's current condition, access issues, biodiversity,
landscape issues, cultural and tourism potential, and pressures from forestry management.
With help from its partner organisations, the Forum has signposted and waymarked most of the Tramroad's length – watch out for the distinctive "tramwheel" logo. Work continues in clearing the Tramroad of encroaching vegetation; installing access gates; and providing interpretive and educational information.
The Forum has published a booklet "Walks and Rides along the Brinore Tramroad" which is available locally – see further information.
You can contact the Forum through its Hon. Secretary, Peter Seaman, at peter.seaman@btinternet.com.
The Brinore Tramroad Conservation Forum would like to compile a list of artefacts. The list will then act as a record for future research. There is no requirement to submit items, but if you wish to donate artefacts then the Forum would be pleased to accept them. In particular the Forum is currently seeking 'tie bars'.
To record an artefact, send an e-mail to Peter Seaman including:- description, condition, location found (if known), date found (if known), present location. A digital photograph would be of great assistance. To donate an artefact, send an e-mail to Peter Seaman with as much information as possible please.
Thank you for your help. :::
