The ely TrailFollowing the River Ely from Cardiff Bay and Penarth to St Fagans for approximately 7 miles, the mostly traffic-free Ely Trail offers walkers and cyclists the opportunity to explore Cardiff’s open countryside, an array of wildlife, and one of Wales’ most popular heritage attractions - St Fagans National History Museum.The Ely Trail can be easily accessed from the iconic Pont y Werin. Passing Cardiff’s impressive Sports Village along a short on road section, the route rejoins the riverside at Grangemoor Park - where you can enjoy the pretty riverside scenery and views of Cardiff from the summit of the hill.

After crossing Penarth Road the route continues along the riverside. Be sure to take advantage of the lovely picnic spot along this stretch. Boasting great views across the river and to the surrounding countryside, and home to wildlife including kingfishers and dippers, it’s hard to believe that you’re in Wales’ capital city.

Passing over Leckwith Road and continuing along the wooded riverside trail, the route travels under a large bridge. Continue straight ahead towards Lawrenny Avenue and then take a left along the top-side of Sanatorium Park. At this point there are two route options. One route heads to Paper Mill Road and over the railway tracks via steep steps (walkers can follow the Wroughton Place link), and the second (recommended for cyclists who want to avoid the steps) follows the quiet roads around Victoria Park. The two routes then meet and follow an on-road section past Waun Gron Rail Station.

Continue along Bwlch Road until you reach a sharp right turn where Landwade Close joins from the left. From there you join the traffic free trail once again from a path behind the houses on Landwade Close.

Be sure to keep an eye out for buzzards - the largest bird of prey in the area as the trail winds through the picturesque woodland of Glan Ely Woods and pretty open fields before reaching St Fagans National History Museum where the trail ends.

When you return to Pont y Werin you can continue your journey along the Bay Trail - a 6 mile circular route around the bustling Cardiff Bay.

llwybr elai Gan ddilyn Afon Elai o Fae Caerdydd a Phenarth i Sain Ffagan am tua 7 milltir, mae Llwybr Elai, sy’n ddi-draffig gan fwyaf, yn cynnig cyfle i gerddwyr a beicwyr archwilio cefn gwlad agored Caerdydd, amrywiaeth o fywyd gwyllt ac un o’r atyniadau treftadaeth mwyaf poblogaidd Cymru - Amgueddfa Werin Cymru, Sain Ffagan.Gellir cael mynediad hawdd i Lwybr Elai o Bont y Werin eiconaidd. Gan fynd heibio i Bentref Chwaraeon trawiadol Caerdydd ar hyd adran fer o ffordd mae’r llwybr yn ailymuno â glan yr afon ym Mharc Grangemoor - lle gallwch fwynhau’r golygfeydd glan afon hardd a golygfa o Gaerdydd o ben y bryn.

Ar ôl croesi Ffordd Penarth mae’r llwybr yn parhau ar hyd glan yr afon. Gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod yn manteisio ar y man picnic hyfryd ar hyd y darn hwn. Gyda golygfeydd gwych dros yr afon ac i’r cefn gwlad oddi amgylch, ac yn gartref i fywyd gwyllt yn cynnwys Glas y Dorlan a Bronwen y Dŵr, mae’n anodd credu eich bod ym mhrifddinas Cymru.

Wedi mynd dros Heol Lecwydd a pharhau ar hyd y llwybr glan yr afon coediog mae’r llwybr yn mynd o dan bont fawr. Parhewch yn syth yn eich blaen tuag at Rodfa Lawrenny ac yna ewch i’r chwith ar hyd pen uchaf Parc Sanatoriwm. Yma ceir dewis o ddau lwybr. Mae un llwybr yn mynd i gyfeiriad Heol y Felin Bapur a dros y rheilffordd gan ddefnyddio grisiau serth (gall cerddwyr ddilyn y ffordd gyswllt o Wroughton Road i Bwlch Road), ac mae’r ail (a argymhellir ar gyfer beicwyr sydd am osgoi’r grisiau) yn dilyn ffyrdd tawel o amgylch Parc Victoria. Mae’r ddau lwybr wedyn yn cyfarfod ac yn dilyn adran ar y ffordd heibio Gorsaf Reilffordd Waun Gron.

Parhewch ar hyd Heol Bwlch hyd nes i chi gyrraedd tro sydyn i’r dde, lle mae Clos Landwade yn ymuno o’r chwith. O’r fan honno rydych yn ymuno â’r llwybr di-draffig unwaith eto o lwybr y tu ôl i’r tai ar Clos Landwade.

Cadwch lygad am farcutiaid - yr aderyn ysglyfaethus mwyaf yn yr ardal wrth i’r llwybr droelli drwy goedwigoedd ysblennydd Coedwig Glan Elai a chaeau agored hardd cyn cyrraedd Amgueddfa Werin Sain Ffagan lle daw’r llwybr i ben.

Pan fyddwch yn dychwelyd i Bont y Werin gallwch barhau ar eich taith ar hyd Llwybr y Bae - llwybr cylchol 6 milltir o amgylch Bae Caerdydd.
