Nice ascent from Crosskeys, but watch out for very overgrown pathways on the Machen side. Great views from the top!

Great panoramic views of surrounding area.

plenty of free parking in Machen next to the village hall and library

Mynydd Machen is a 1,188-foot (362 m) hill in South Wales which affords glorious views over Newport, Cardiff, Steep Holm, Flat Holm, Brean Down, and the Severn Estuary. The summit is marked by the rock 10 feet (3 m) northwest of the trig point.

Mynydd Machen is a 362-metre-high (1,188 ft) hill lying between the town of Risca and the village of Machen in Caerphilly County Borough in South Wales. Its summit is crowned by a trig point and a mast. It is a UK listed Marilyn.

Great tester of a climb on a mountain bike (or even gravel bike if you're brave)! You'll find large, angular and chunky rocks on the trail, with a highline ridge to the right featuring more roots. Find this trail in the Sirhowy Valley Country Park, not far from the brilliantly named Wattsville. Good luck!

This part of the trail is a little flatter than the sections before and after. It's also fairly smooth so makes for good running even when it's wet. Great views down into the valley!

This cycle path follows the old Monmouthshire Canal, which was opened in 1796 and was originally about 20 kilometres long. With the help of 42 locks, 136 metres in height were conquered. This section has been superbly restored and you can admire the many locks that are in good condition. Instead of barge-load of coal, today only ducks and other waterbirds swim on the quiet water, along which you can cycle in peace and without cars along the paved cycle path.
