Cardiff Welcome Centre 16 Wood Street Cardiff CF10 1ES United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 http://www.btinternet.com/~car... |
Offering panoramic views and a variety of scenery, it is possible to take a bus from Cardiff direct to the top of Caerphilly Mountain. For those travelling by car, there is a small lay-by at the top suitable for short-term parking. This is a very popular area for walkers of all ages, hilly but not too strenuous, with clearly marked paths incorporating parts of the longer Ridgeway walk. Full details of a three-mile walk around the mountainside are given in the book Capital Walks published by the Cardiff Ramblers' Association, or ask at the Cardiff Welcome Centre for details of the best routes to take.

Circling Caerphilly |
Cardiff Welcome Centre 16 Wood Street Cardiff CF10 1ES United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 |
This 27-mile circular walk around Caerphilly links the three ridges of Mynydd-y-Grug, Thornhill and Eglwysilan. The whole route is recommended for experienced walkers while the less energetic might like to take just one section of it. Caerphilly makes a convenient starting point, easily accessible from Cardiff. Expect a fair amount of climbing as the route leads over open hills. Your hard work will be rewarded with panoramic views over the Brecon Beacons and the Bristol Channel. On a clear day it is possible to catch glimpses of Somerset. Contact the Cardiff Welcome Centre for full details of the route, or take a look at the Cardiff Ramblers' website. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mountain with a hump |
Cardiff Welcome Centre 16 Wood Street Cardiff CF10 1ES United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 http://www.ramblers.co.uk/walk... |
A short drive east of Cardiff, Twmbarlwm is a pretty little mountain that makes an ideal viewpoint over the surrounding countryside and has the added attraction of a Norman motte. There are several marked walks in the area, the longest being a fairly strenuous seven-mile walk from the village of Pant yr Eos. The less energetic will be glad to know that it is possible to take a car almost to the top of the mountain where you can sit and enjoy the views. The romantically-inclined come here in the evening to watch the sun go down. Ask at the Cardiff Welcome Centre for details of walks in the area. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Caerleon to Brecon walk |
Cardiff Welcome Centre 16 Wood Street Cardiff CF10 1ES United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 http://www.btinternet.com/~car... |
A pleasant and easy 25 mile walk that starts at the Roman town of Caerleon, and extends to Brecon. Following the path of the river and the Brecon canal, the walk is flat for the most part making it very suitable for families or less experienced walkers, and parts are suitable for the disabled. It can easily be tackled in sections, with lots of interesting sights to explore on the way. Beginning with the Roman remains at Caerleon, it passes old forts, churches and castles and the aqueduct and lock on the canal. Leaflets are available from the Cardiff Welcome Centre and details can also be found on the Cardiff Ramblers' website. Review © 2007, Wcities |
