Lovely path to ride on. A gentle incline and suitable for most abilities

Always a good place to stop for refreshments. It’s a popular pub and can be busy at times.

Built in 1280, this castle has a fascinating life story. It is the second largest castle and grounds in UK, slightly smaller than Windsor castle. The water defenses are now home to plenty of birds and the grounds offer fantastic views of this stunning castle

Great views nice ride

Some gates are pain to get the bike through loud easy turn handapbares lift front wheel

Great steady cycle way, good for getting the kids out

better in the daytime but well lit at night.

The weir spans the River Taff, which flows directly through the heart of South Wales. It's a nice place to stop and refuel with picnic benches and a peaceful atmosphere.

Along with some magnificent views the end place Goytre Wharf definitely worth visiting

Take it easy, take in the countryside!

The pretty Radyr Weir spans over the River Taff and is currently working as a hydropower scheme, providing energy locally. You may find wild salmon and sea trout near the weir, as well as cormorants and grey herons.

Craig Llysfaen, also known as Lisvane Graig, is a prominent hill of 265 m above sea level, overlooking Cardiff, some 7 miles north of the city centre.

Coed Craig Ruperra is what is known as a Planted Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS). These sites are classified as woods which were originally included on registers as far back as the 1600s, and which have been felled and replanted, usually with conifer, most often as a cash crop.  PAWS woodlands usually start out as Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW), but their native trees have been replaced, usually by non-native conifers.

Built in 1626 by Sir Thomas Morgan, Steward to the Earl of Pembroke, it was one of the first of the 'mock' castles to be built in Wales.  In 2022 Cadw designated the castle gardens and park Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

Castell Coch, or the ‘Red Castle’, rises up from the ancient beech woods of Fforest Fawr like a vision from a fairy tale. Yet these great towers with their unmistakable conical roofs only hint at the splendour within. Given free rein by the third Marquess of Bute, architect William Burges didn’t hold back. The highly decorated interiors and rich furnishings of Castell Coch make it a dazzling masterpiece of the High Victorian era. But it’s no exotic folly. Underneath the mock-medieval trappings you can still trace the impressive remains of a 13th-century castle, once used as a hunting lodge by the ruthless Marcher lord Gilbert de Clare. Castell Coch has been a plaything of the rich and powerful for over 700 years. Having lavished huge sums on it neither Gilbert de Clare nor the Marquess of Bute spent much time here. https://cadw.gov.wales/more-about-castell-coch
