Not sure about opening hours because it’s pretty new but the owner said she’s going to be there as much as possible (every day at the moment)

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.
