	Taff Trail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Taff Trail is a popular walking and cycle path that runs for 54 miles between Cardiff Bay and Brecon in Wales.
		The trail was launched in September 1988 by Sir Wyn Roberts, Minister of State for the Welsh Office.
		Taff Ely borough council had created cycling routes within its boundaries, Cardiff city council had provided the Three Castles Cycle Route from Caerphilly into Cardiff, and the Brecon Beacons National Park was developing leisure trails to encourage the use of the park.

		The Taf Trail Circuit in the Brecon Beacons National Park begins and ends at Cefn Coed having walking to Brecon by one mountain pass route around the Central Massif and return via a mountain pass on the other side.
		The walking approach this design is intended to encourage is to move away from seeing a long distance footpath as a purely head down physical challenge and to encourage an approach based less on counting mileage and more on exploration and understanding.

		I had no map (couldn't find one with taf trail marked on it anywhere!) I found the existing signs small and infrequent enough to send me off down numerous false paths between Tongwynlais, Radyr and Taffs Well before eventually finding the correct route.
		Every now and again the police have a purge on motorbikes on the Taff Trail, yes do complaint to Merthyr Police, but make sure you ask for an incident number, this ensures that your complaint is logged, and when it's logged more notice has to be taken, and hopefully more action taken against these pests.
