The Gelliwion Road climb up from Pontypridd is a tricky one thanks to the steep gradient, but a quiet lane and really lovely way to get out into the countryside and tracks up on the hillside here.
You can follow lanes to link into the next valley and Tonyrefail, following National Cycle Route 4, or you can take the bridleway to enjoy the many forestry roads and trails to the north.
