Merthyr Tydfil to Pontsticill and Torpantau tea rooms

Following the Taff Trail we see relics of Merthyr's industrial heritage, the iron works, Cyfarthfa Castle and Cefn Coed Viaduct. Cycling through the peaceful Taf Fechan Valley along old railway lines and country lanes with view of Morlais Castle and Ponsticill Reservoir in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
We will stop at The Old Barn Tea Rooms, Torpantau for refreshments.
Please bring some change as they don't take cards.The hill by the tearooms is not included on the route map.
The trail has a good tarmac surface and the roads are quiet and although the route is hilly and undulating we can take our time to enjoy the scenery.
