Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Walk

Caerphilly

A route winding its way across the hills encircling the unique and often spectacular scenery of the Rhymney Valley. The walk follows quiet countryside paths and lanes, where steep beech woodlands merge into panoramic mountain tops. Mynydd Machen is the highest point. It links with the Taff-Ely Ridgeway Walk at Caerphilly Common, and in the east is partly coincident with the Sirhowy Valley Walk. See Green Spaces Caerphilly website below for four-part leaflet download.

UPDATE April 2021 - We have been informed that there have been ongoing blockages to the access of the kissing gate near to GR 107 900 but now it is impassable due to barbed wire. The Caerphilly Council Rights of Way Officer has been informed of this.
