Blackweir Bridge and Weir

Highlight • Structure

Blackweir Bridge crossing the River Taff, was designed and constructed in the 1980s by engineering students at nearby Cardiff University. The students evidently liked the feel of the earth moving under their feet, it can be a bit bouncy!

Castle Coch Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Castle

Really fun and beautiful descent down past Castle Coch. Catch it on a spring morning with sun breaking through the trees, truly spectacular. Smooth tarmac, not technical, flows very nicely.
