What to know
Walking and outdoors
The Taff Trail (Cardiff Bay to Brecon, 55 miles) runs alongside the river through Treforest — the section north from Treforest to Pontypridd (2 miles) and then Cilfynydd (4 miles) follows the Taff through recovering valley woodland. The Rocking Stone on Pontypridd Common (1.5 miles northwest) is a glacial erratic that gives an easy hilltop view over the town. The Llanwonno Forest Walk (5 miles from Treforest by car) is a quiet forestry walk with a connection to Victorian mountain racing.
