Llwybr seiclo yn mynd heibio i hen safle Palais de Danse sef neuadd a agorwyd yn 1923 er cynnal dawnsfeydd, cyngerddau a ffilmiau. Yn ystod y 1950au a'r 1960au roedd y lle yn boblogaidd iawn gyda phobl ifanc yr ardal fel neuadd ddawnsio. Cyn cau bu'r adeilad hefyd yn ffatri jins a gweithdy ceir. Fe'i dymchwelwyd yn 2011 ac mae safle bellach yn faes parcio a safle bicnig. A cycle track passing the site of the former Palais de Danse, a hall which opened in 1923 as a venue for dancing, concerts and for watching films. In its heyday during the 1950s and 60s the place was very popular with young people as a dance hall. Prior to its closure the building was also used as a jeans factory and as a car workshop. Demolished in 1911 the site is today a car park and a picnic site.
