Links castles, heritage sites, and waterside pubs while passing through parkland and former industrial valleys, making it perfect for cycling or short sections on foot with varied Welsh history throughout.

Forge Walk

Follows gentle woodland paths and field edges with minimal incline, making it ideal for families with young children and suitable for sturdy buggies on drier days. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Connects historic forge sites around Caerphilly, offering glimpses of industrial heritage alongside peaceful countryside views.
