This is a lovely ride from Forest Farm Country Park car park up the Taff trail through Tongwynlais and Nantgarw, then branching off on the cycle route to Caerphilly.

We will cycle along the car free Taff trail to Tongwynlais, where there is short stretch on quiet roads before the car free trail resumes. At Nantgarw we branch off the Taff Trail on the cycle route to Caerphilly, following the old railway line. There is another short stretch on a quiet roads going into Caerphilly. The route is a steady gentle uphill, but down hill on the way back!

It is tarmac for most of the way, but can be bumpy with tree roots and leaf debris in places, suitable for all bikes.

Will we stop occasionally en route to have a breather, then have a refreshment stop at the cafe in Caerphilly tourist Centre, overlooking the castle, (approx 30 mins). We usually take a group photo (optional), we will then retrace our tracks to Forest Farm.

Please bring some money if you would like to buy refreshments. It is recommended to wear a helmet, also bring a spare inner tube if you have one, and a bike lock.
