Before booking your place please read the IMPORTANT section below.
A lovely ride using the local cycle paths - along the Taff Trail up to Nantgarw (mostly between the trees on cycle path, with one short section on-road through Tongwynlais), and using Route 4 into Caerphilly, through a quiet residential area to get to the castle. Gentle uphill on the way there, all downhill on the way back!
Remember to bring a drink, spare inner tube, check your bike over before coming, and always wear a helmet!
Any issues on the day, pop a message on the Ride Conversation tab below.
