Taff Trail Starting in Cardiff Bay, the Taff Trail takes in some fantastic attractions such as the Doctor Who Experience, Cardiff Castle and the Millennium Stadium. Just a short ride away and you’re transported from cosmopolitan Cardiff to rural heaven. Cycle eight relatively gentle miles along the Taff corridor, to a land of crashing weirs rich with wildlife, impressive mountain backdrops and the picturesque Castell Coch perched on the mountainside.

On the trail, there are plenty of pretty places to stop and picnic before arriving at the industrial heritage town of Pontypridd. Here you will fi nd a museum, historic old bridge and the tranquil Ynysangharad War Memorial Park.

Back on the trail, head for Merthyr Tydfi l, a town built on iron and coal, and home to the magnifi cent Cyfarthfa Castle. Visit the Castle’s museum and art gallery before climbing steadily up the Torpantau Pass where you’ll discover the old Merthyr Railway.

Ride on to Brecon through picture-perfect mountain landscapes, majestic waterfalls and crystal clear reservoirs, before arriving into Brecon town - home to a Cathedral, plenty of places to eat and drink, and quaint shops to browse in.
