The Blackmill Path is a fantastic section of National Cycle Route 4 that runs alongside Ogwr Fach, linking Blackmill to the west to Hendreforgan and Tonyrefail. It also features on the Celtic Trail, a long distance cycleway from Fishguard to Chepstow.

The relatively new, smooth tarmac path cuts through glorious countryside and is a much-needed alternative to the busy main road on the other side of the river.
