Ride to Cowbridge for Cake

We start car park at the end of Radyr Road, Llandaff North, no toilets, close to Llandaff station and head through Danescourt, Fairwater, towards the Vale and Brides Super Ely. We then climb to Clawdd-coch, Tre-Dodrige onto Welsh St Donats on quiet country lanes. We then join A4222 for a few miles through Aberthin and then onto Cowbridge. After our lunch stop in Cowbridge, we return to Cardiff (not doubt cake fuelled!) via Welsh St Donats, and Peterston Super Ely and finally through the suburbs of Cardiff to Llandaff.

This is a challenging ride that takes us through some really pretty villages in the Vale. There is approx. 2,700 feet climbing, but the views are worth it and there will of course be cake to help you get up the hills.

We will be on Cardiff’s suburban roads, quiet narrow country lanes and a few B roads that are a little busier. This ride would be suitable for all types of bikes.

We will be stopping in Happy Days Café in Cowbridge for lunch. We can sit outside the café, or if you prefer we can buy take-out drinks and food and sit in the Physic Garden if the weather is dry.

Please wear a helmet and bring some money for the cafe

We never leave anyone behind
