Picturesque Ride to Caerphilly

This is a picturesque ride along country lanes and an old railway line. It is very undulating with a few short and very steep hills, so good for those training for the Pedal the Wye! We start at Cardiff Garden Centre and head out through Old St Mellons to Michaelston y Fedw. From there, we cross the Rhymney River and make our way to Draethen where we pick up a very quiet lane to Machen. From Machen we pick up an old railway line until Trethomas. After cycling through the back streets of Trethomas we cross the main road and pick up another cycle path which takes us into the very centre of Caerphilly and Rosita's cafe, for a break and snacks!
