Description
This route is intended for wheels of all types, although it is also a great route for walking. Most it is along the Sirhowy Valley Line path and Cycle Route 47. The surfaces are metalled all the way, although there is some variability on the standard of the paths. It`s fairly flat most of the way, but there is one short section up or down a fairly steep incline (where the 47 cycle route meets the Sirhowy Valley Line path, near Wattsville). Most of the route is on very good quality tarmac, but there is a short rough section at the beginning and end of the Tram Road between Gelligroes and Pontllanfraith (maybe 200-300 metres in total)

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
