Places to Visit in

Vale of Glamorgan

Colwinston

A rolling ride through the Vale of Glamorgan’s green hills and valleys, centred around the charming and historied village of Colwinston, whose past features legends, lords and life after the darkest of times.

Wenvoe

Its winding trails seeing phenomenal natural redevelopment work under the Great Glamorgan Way, Wenvoe is stocked with helpful facilities to make life easier as you traverse the undulating landscape of the Vale of Glamorgan.

Dyffryn

Thriving on its heritage and florae, Dyffryn is a treasure trove of beautiful plant life, wild and rare trees and stately splendour in the heart of the Vale. The two ancient burial chambers nearby are some of the best preserved in the country, and will transport you back to a world older than metal.

St Hilary

A picturesque village brimming with almost 1000 years of history, St Hilary’s is a fantastic location to start or end a ride. North of the village, the peak of Bryn Owain offers sweeping views of the Vale of Glamorgan, and is the site of one of Owain Glyndŵr’s most exhausting battles against the English.

Ogmore-by-Sea and St Brides Major

A storied, constantly engaging trail, the imposing silhouette of Ogmore Castle marks the centuries of history just waiting to be discovered throughout the Vale of Glamorgan, whilst the landscape provides a refuge for Britain’s most endangered butterfly.
