About Family Mountain Bike Route

Although majority of this route follows a stoned track skirting the reservoir, there is a small stretch on a quiet public road. The route has attractive views across to the Black Mountains. Welsh Water have recently opened up the Dam Wall to pedestrian & Cycle Traffic - and this now forms part of the route.
