Family Rider - Afan

The Afan Valley Cycle Route is a family suitable cycle route.

This gently sloping trail follows the wide flat route of the old railway lines that once carried passengers and coal the length of the valley.

14 miles of disused railway and forest road link the communities of Pontrhydyfen and Blaengwynfi and wind through forest and open areas that were once railway sidings.

The old Cynonville station has been converted to a shelter and barbeque.
Many other benches and picnic tables along the route offer opportunitites to stop and enjoy the view.
