This is a nice stone bridge along the cyclepath just outside Merthyr Tydfil which makes a pretty spot to stop and take a picture.

Mountain biking

A remnant of Merthyr's past. This bridge carried a railway line that either took you through a tunnel to Aberdare or sent you north towards Cefn Coed and on to Brecon via Torpantau. Under the bridge was the Merthyr to Cardiff Glamorganshire canal which carried the produce of Cyfarthfa iron works to the ports of Cardiff which was then shipped all over the world.
