Santa Special - Forest Farm to Caerphilly Castle

Starting from the car park at Forest Farm we will head up the Taff trail, along the River Taff, through Tongwynlais to Caerphilly Castle. There is a long, steady (not steep) hill from Taffs Well Train Station for about a mile or so up to Penrhos Cutting. Lots of downhill on the return leg though ! We are returning via the lower Taff Trail passing Nantgarw Pottery works and Taffs Well Rugby Club . If time allows we will have a cafe stop at Tongwynlais. The route is primarily traffic free although there are short on road sections which we will keep to a minimum . This is our annual Christmas Ride so your chance to ride in fancy dress!
