The Taff Trail is a popular walking and cycle path that runs for 55 miles (89 km) between Cardiff Bay and Brecon in Wales.

 

It is so named because it follows the course of the River Taff. Along much of its length, it follows National Cycle Network Route 8 (Lon Las Cymru) that continues to Holyhead, and is substantially off-road.

 

The trail was launched in September 1988 by Sir Wyn Roberts, Minister of State for the Welsh Office. The project was initiated and co-ordinated by the Merthyr and Cynon Groundwork Trust, with the co-operation of the local councils that the trail passes through.

The route  runs along converted railways, canals and forest tracks. It takes you from the Brecon Beacons National Park, right to the nation's capital Cardiff.

 

Most of the riding is gentle and would suit the whole family, though there are steeper sections, including an ascent of Torpantau, at 439m above sea level.

 

You start with canalside riding at Brecon and pass through the stunning Brecon Beacons. The ride then takes you to the viaducts at Pontsarn and Cefn Coed and into the heart of the industrial heritage of the Valleys.
