Fred Jones Lane to Lisvane Path

Highlight • Climb

Good little cut through up over into Lisvane. Good climb up through the farm
Passable on a road bike just turns a bit rough past the farm. Also watch out for the gate after the first decent.

View of Caerphilly

Highlight • Viewpoint

Caerphilly is surrounded by lots of rolling hills and countryside. You can enjoy great views on a bike ride or hike nearby to the town.

Nearer to the centre, Caerphilly Castle is worth visiting.
