Blackmill Path (National Cycle Route 4)

Highlight • Cycleway

The Blackmill Path is a fantastic section of National Cycle Route 4 that runs alongside Ogwr Fach, linking Blackmill to the west to Hendreforgan and Tonyrefail. It also features on the Celtic Trail, a long distance cycleway from Fishguard to Chepstow.

The relatively new, smooth tarmac path cuts through glorious countryside and is a much-needed alternative to the busy main road on the other side of the river.

National Cycle Route 4 Off-Road Section Near Tonyrefail

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This is an off-road section of the National Cycle Route 4, which links up with the road down into Tonyrefail.

While not suitable for road bikes, it isn’t far to push or carry.

The alternative is to take the main road from the junction to 'Our Welsh Cavaran & Camping', and there's another cycle path which means you don't have to go the whole way into the village on that road.
