Hiking
The coal mining industry transformed the landscape of South Wales and one of the ways it did that was bringing about the construction of railways and, to span valleys, their accompanying viaducts. Hengoed's viaduct is vast and incredibly impressive. Thankfully, after 35 years of being completely closed, it's now a foot and cycle path, and part of the National Cycle Route 47.

Hengoed Viaduct is an old railway viaduct that’s now a pedestrian walkway and extension of the National Cycle Route. On clear days, the view is pretty over the valley.
