Parc Melin Mynach, also known as Monks' Mill, is a landscape of historic interest, with features of industrial heritage, which over time has developed mature tree cover. The park is a time capsule that has survived the encroachment and reclamation of the heavy industry that has gone on around it.

On entering the site at Cecil Road you are greeted with a large mounted 18th century cast iron waterwheel which was retrieved from the site.

The Parks rough terrain is more suitable for those who prefer a brisk walk. The open landscape is perfect for letting the dog off the lead and strolling through the winding pathways.
