No Through Road

Highlight • Trail

I've explored this track, it's ridable on a gravel bike to within 400m of it's northern end, then it's over grown. This was in summer so maybe in winter or spring it's passable.

Porthkerry Viaduct

Highlight • Historical Site

Porthkerry Viaduct has 16 arches and was eventually re-opened in 1900 after a faltering start when numerous supporting piers settled and had to be underpinned and reconstructed. It's been pretty solid since and now it's a Grade II listed building.
