The B4343 runs along
the eastern side of the reserve and from this a small lay-by car
park gives access to the reserve. Poor visibility makes this car
park quite difficult to use, and at peak times it can be full
(Scott et al. 1998). It is a remote area, situated in the
agricultural heartland of Ceredigion: an area of low population,
away from the main tourist routes, that is not well served by
public transport. It is very difficult to reach the reserve other
than by car, with the nearest bus stops being 2 miles away, at
either Pontrhydfendigaid or Tregaron. The narrow, winding nature of
the country roads linking (he site lo neighbouring villages means
that it is not an easy journey to make on foot or by
bike.
Most visitors travel
to the site by car (937), with just 17 travelling by bike and none
on foot or by public transport (Scot) el al. 1998).
There is informal
parking al Pont Einon lo the south of the reserve, off the A485.
Parking al Ystrad Meurig station yard, to the north, is used by
local people. Both these sites have excellent views over the bog
but give no access onto the reserve,
