Up and Down to Caerphilly

From the garden centre, we will head through Old St Mellons on the cycle path, and through the lanes to Michaelston y Fedw then Draethen. From Draethen, we will cycle along the Rhumney River valley towards Machen where we will pick up the cycle path through Trethomas, Bedwas and on to Caerphilly. We will have to dismount as we hit the town centre and make our way up to the Twyn and Rosita's cafe.

Please note, this is quite a hilly ride, particularly in the first half and the latter stages on the way back!

This is a picturesque ride that takes us along leafy lanes and an old railway track to Caerphilly.

Half the ride will be along quiet lanes. There may be a few pot holes in certain parts. The other half of the ride is along safe and smooth cycle paths.

We will stop at Rosita's Cafe opposite Caerphilly Castle. Hopefully we will be able to sit outside and admire the view. It's a new cafe with a great choice of food.

It's going to be a hot one, so bring plenty of water and sun cream! And of course a spare inner tube just in case.

We never leave anyone behind
