Cafe stops at the wonderful new Ffos Caerffili (toilets available) and Havens Well, Rudry (toilet at pub next door).

This route goes from Pedal Power up the Taff Trail to Caerphilly. From Caerphilly we follow Cycle Route 4 through Bedwas, along the old railway line to Machen, and along a lovely country lane to Draethen. From Draethen there’s a decent climb up to Rudry (coffee stop before final climb!), and then one last climb followed by a downhill to Lisvane and then a route along roads and cycle paths to Cardiff returning to Pedal Power through Bute Park. About 3hrs cycling time plus stops so returning by around 2.00pm.
