Aberbargoed to New Tredegar Cycle Route
Running for nearly 2 kilometres from Aberbargoed north towards New Tredegar, this route forms part of the developing network running the length of the Rhymney Valley.
Immediately to the South of the route is Parc Coetir Bargoed, which has a range of access paths within it. The route runs along a disused railway in the narrowest part of the Rhymney Valley and is mainly wooded. Breaks in the woodland allow superb views of the surrounding landscapes and river below.
A number of historically interesting features are visible amongst the trees along this route which will eventually tie into the existing route which currently extends between Powells Terrace, through the reclaimed Mclaren Colliery site and into Abertyswg. The route also links to the Elliot Colliery Winding House Museum, which has a fully operational winding engine.
