Machen - Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Footpath - Machen

Walk ID: 79

Machen - Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Footpath - Mynydd Machen – Machen

An energetic but extremely rewarding walk in the Welsh hills, where steep beech woodlands merge into panoramic hilltops. A mixture of short road sections, footpaths and bridleways, generally free of mud and with few stiles, there are however, several steep climbs, one of them lengthy. As part of the route is over exposed hilltops, waterproofs, warm clothes, food and drink are essential.

Wales - Central South Wales - Caerphilly

08/09/01 - mike saunders : As you emerge through the forestry back into Machen, the railway bed you cross is not the Newport to Caerphilly line but the B.J.R.(Bassaleg Junction to Rhymney line.)
