Aber Valley Cycle Route
.jpg)
This multi user route runs for some 2.5 miles between two Station Terraces, one in Caerphilly and the other in Senghenydd. The route from Caerphilly has a number of interesting wildlife sites in the adjacent fields and woods before entering Abertridwr Heritage Park. From here the path crosses the site of the former Windsor Colliery and on into Senghenydd.
The universal Colliery in Senghenydd was the site of Britain's worst mining disaster when in 1913, 439 men were killed in an explosion. In Senghenydd stands the memorial and museum commemorating this and other disasters in the Aber Valley.
