Ridgeway Gravel Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a fun track that takes you across the hill and through the woods. It's pretty bumpy in places and can be slippery (especially after rain), so you'll need decent riding skills.

Technical Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Technical (but fun) trail. Rocky, rooty, and sometimes muddy following rain. Keep alert for your line choice.

View of Caerphilly

Highlight • Viewpoint

Caerphilly is surrounded by lots of rolling hills and countryside. You can enjoy great views on a bike ride or hike nearby to the town.

Nearer to the centre, Caerphilly Castle is worth visiting.

View of the Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Good route across up over the fields that then crosses the road. More gravel / mtb than touring bike.
