Ogmore Valley Trail: Aberkenfig to Nant-y-Moel
On one of the many former South Wales valley railway lines, the Ogmore valley trail offers a ride of reasonable distance but without the hills. The gradual gradient from Aberkenfig takes you along the valley floor, with various features and old railway hardware still visible along the way.
Away from traffic, and in woodland for the majority of the route, this ride offers an excellent opportunity to get away from it all without getting away from it all.
For a longer ride, start at Bridgend, and the Ogmore Valley trail can also be linked with the Traffic Free routes of the Garw Valley Trail and a section of National Cycle Route 4 to Kenfig Hill.
