The Taff Trail runs for 55 miles between Cardiff and Brecon along a mixture of riverside paths, railway paths and forest roads.

Due to the range of path surface types, a sturdier cycle is recommended for some sections of this route. These include a short section from Quakers Yard to Pontygwaith and from Pentwyn Reservoir to Talybont Reservoir.
