Caerphilly to Machen
This section of NCN 4 has had a number of upgrades over recent years and is now almost completely traffic free.
From the centre of Caerphilly NCN 4 heads east on a quite residential street before picking up a traffic free path section that runs through a linear park area and past two schools.
Then running alongside a road before picking up an old back-road, the route joins the riverside path around the large Bedwas industrial estate. Thanks to the large green belt area left between the industrial estate and the river, this section is very quite and a beautiful, riverside, and traffic free environment.
Finally the route crosses the A468 to join up with the Bedwas to Machen cycle path that utilises a section of old railway.
