Camps Viaduct

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in 1885 this viaduct once carried the single-track mineral railway which served the local industry. The railway closed in 1956 but walkers can cross or walk underneath to get a view of the 9 arches.

Almondell Country Park

Highlight • Bridge

I think this needs re-classified, given the nature of the surfaces in Almondell I would not suggest it to be suitable for a road bike. MTB/Hybrid/CX/Gravel bikes should have no issue.

This is a wonderful place to explore. A few sections have challenging cobbles. However, they can be walked. Go and explore!
