Breeze up the Taff Trail to Caerphilly

Please arrive 15 min before the start time to allow for introductions and bike checks
We’ll leave Hailey Park at 10am and head North along the Taff Trail to Tingwynlais, where there is a short on-road stretch. We then continue to follow the Taff Trail to Penrhos Junction, a couple of miles west of Caerphilly. This stretch of approximately five miles follows the old railway line and is a very gentle, steady, uphill.
We are then largely gently downhill on quiet roads and paths into Caerphilly itself. We’ll cycle past the castle and stop for refreshments opposite.
We retrace our steps for the return journey.

This steady ride takes us along traffic free trails and quiet roads to the majestic Caerphilly Castle, where we’ll stop for a photo and refreshments. We’ll return to Hailey Park via the same route.

Most of the route is traffic free, with a short on road stretch through Tongwynlais, and a few very quiet roads within Caerphilly itself.

Well stop for refreshments in Caerphilly. Shortly after the start of the ride, we’ll pass Radyr Weir, where we may wish to stop to see if any salmon are swimming up river.

Please bring a helmet, bike lock and money for the cafe stop.

First-timers welcome!
