Two Castles Walk

Hello Marauders! ☀️☀️☀️

Come and join us on 7 mile route between Castell Coch and Cardiff Castle along the Taff Trail through Tongwynlais, Forest Farm Country Park, and Hailey Park and onwards through Llandaff, Pontcanna & Bute Park. It's a very flat and leisurely walk along mainly tarmac paths that will be suitable for most people. We've graded it a Level 6-7 walk on our Marauders walk scale.

This is a point-to-point walk with plenty to see along the way that finishes in the city centre. There are multiple transport options for getting yourself back home or to the start point to collect your car. Trains, buses, city-bikes or even a walk back up the Taff Trail if you're feeling really fit!

There is an alternative 6-mile circular walk on offer for those that need to return to Castell Coch to pick up their cars. We'll all start together and follow the same first 3-miles down the Taff Trail before those that need to turn back can do so.

For those that do get to Cardiff, you'll all be welcome to stay down in the city for a bite to eat and a few drinks with your fellow Marauders.

The what3words walk start point is from Castell Coch drawbridge; as follows -

Castell Coch is only a short walking distance from Taffs Well train station so this could be a good place to park up if you're travelling back from Cardiff by train.

The walk will start at the slightly later time of 9:45 given that the car park gates don't open until 9:30. On-street parking is available though on Castle Road.
