Cardiff to Pontypridd

Description

This lovely largely off road ride follows NCN route 8 and the Taff trail from Cardiff to Pontypridd.
You start on the River Taff in Cardiff and head along the river northwards passing the Millenium Stadium and Cardiff Castle. There are also views of the attractive riverside Bute park and the Weir on the Taff near Maindy as you leave the centre of Cardiff. You soon come to Radyr and then onto Castle Coch (the red castle) before passing through the village of Nantgarw. The ride continues along the river through Glyntaff and on to Pontypridd where you finish near the train station.
