To find Bryn Bettws leave the M 4 at J 40 and follow the A 4107 towards the Afan Forest Park. After 5 miles turn left and travel through the village of Pontrhydyfen (birthplace of Richard Burton) almost opposite the Colliers pub before leaving the village turn right towards Tonmawr, after about 200 yards a minor surfaced road turns to the right up a steep hill with a sign for Pallenna. Follow this road for about one mile as it climbs the mountain. You will enter the forestry over a cattle grid and now you are 500 yards from Bryn Bettws. Continue straight on.
If you miss the surfaced road you may continue along towards Tonmawr for 300 yards and turn right through the forestry commission entrance and follow the un-surfaced track up to the top (about 1 mile) where you turn left into Bryn Bettws in front of the forest park information board.
