周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ20

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

This area is also great for some technical trail running. Plenty of footpaths meander around the hills.

The Garth has a nice flat top with views across the valleys. Lots of sheep grazing too (March). Also a number of mounds provide some cover from the wind if a break is in order

Very helpful staff who kindly refilled our water bottles - also pointed out that on entering the main carpark there is a public tap next to the unit/toilets on the left.

Caerphilly Mountain is located in the Vale of Glamorgan in Caerphilly and stands at 271 m above sea level. There are some magnificent panoramic views on offer here across Cardiff and Caerphilly, Feet, and on a sunny day, even over to Flat Home and Steep Home Islands, a pair of welsh islands lying in the Bristol Channel.

Friendly staff, reasonable prices, very much recommended.

Can get pretty busy during the day in the summer, however there's a good selection of snacks, food and drink available.

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

Great single track. If you want the track to yourself, mid week and early is best. On a ebike it takes between 1.0 and 1.5 hours to get around it. I guess between 1.5 and 3.0 hours on a mountain bike without a motor, giving you plenty of time to tackle the CAFALL trail which is about the same length and starts from the same place. It is a red trail, but not particularly technical.

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.

Great little view point with a nearby cafe and large car park. Top spot.

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.

Stunning little hill with commanding views just outside Cardiff with a trig pointed summit. It is a UK listed Marilyn.

Craig yr Allt is a hill in South Wales with an unmarked summit overlooking Caerphilly to the east and the villages of Nantgarw and Taff's Well to the west. The Taff Ely Ridgeway Walk passes over the hill. It is a UK listed Marilyn.

Beautiful little hill on the outskirts of Cardiff with a trig pointed summit and commanding views. Lovely place to catch a sunrise/set.

Cwmcarn is a hub of MTBing in South Wales. As well as the Twrch and Cafall trail centre loops, the Y Mynydd downhill track is an adrenaline-packed descent of fast rocky straights, tight turns and big jumps! It's uplift serviced on the weekend too, for more info, head to: www.cwmdown.co.uk

Cwmcarn Forest in South Wales consists of two red graded singletrack trails and 2 DH tracks. Both the singletrack trails contain lots of long technical climbs as well as some long flowy descents. Rocky in places and some incredible views from the top. Both trails are clearly signposted and easy to follow although do check they aren't closed for forestry works before going. There is also loads of fire roads running throughout the woods which could be incorporated into a ride if the singletracks become too technical. There is a bike shop, cafe and bike wash, plus pay and display car parking facilities at the bottom where all the trails join up.
