Graig Hill

Highlight • Trail

Insanely steep

Tip by

View of the Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Good route across up over the fields that then crosses the road. More gravel / mtb than touring bike.

View of Caerphilly

Highlight • Viewpoint

Caerphilly is surrounded by lots of rolling hills and countryside. You can enjoy great views on a bike ride or hike nearby to the town.

Nearer to the centre, Caerphilly Castle is worth visiting.

Muddy Forest Trails

Highlight • Trail

Bit boggy but good test of tyres and line selection

Tip by

Technical Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Technical (but fun) trail. Rocky, rooty, and sometimes muddy following rain. Keep alert for your line choice.

Tip by

21.3 km

Ridgeway Gravel Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a fun track that takes you across the hill and through the woods. It's pretty bumpy in places and can be slippery (especially after rain), so you'll need decent riding skills.
