Set on the Bristol Channel coastline with the hills of the South Wales Valleys rising to the north, cycling in Cardiff and its varied surroundings could keep you occupied for a lifetime. In the heart of the capital, explore the bay on cycle paths and head to Bute Park and the River Taff with the city’s historic castle at the very south.
