Bargoed to Parc Cwm Darran

image

This route runs from Bristol Terrace in Bargoed towards Fochriw. The path runs for over 7 kilometres through Parc Cwm Darran, terminating near the Country Park's visitor centre and café. Within the Country Park are a number of mountain bike routes. The cycle track runs along the line of a disused railway and passes under a number of historic bridges.

From the path a range of landscapes and habitats can be seen, the former Groesfaen coal tips being particularly dominant. Beyond the village of Deri, the cycle track enters the main area of the Country Park with its large man made lake as a central feature.
