Further Information and Other Local Ideas

Just to the west of Pontypridd there's Barry Sidings Country Park at Trehafod. There's some popular woodland mountain bike trails and lovely walks along the park's streams and waterfalls. There's also good views of the River Rhonnda at the northern end of the park. The park makes a nice small detour from the route and has a good bike centre with hire and trail information.
