Cyclepath in Clydach Gorge
National Cycle Network Route 46 on the formation of the Merthyr, Tredegar and Abergavenny Railway, at this point running on a ledge above Glydach Gorge; the eastern portals of Gelli-Felen tunnel can be seen in the distance.
Over this section, the cycle route is not tarmaced, in contrast to most of the rest of the route.

Old railway tunnels at Gellifelin in the Clydach Gorge
Sadly by-passed by the national cycleroute and footpath but hardly visitor proof. The railway here was the defunct Merthyr, Tredegar & Abergavenny Railway which ran up this gorge between 1862 and 1958. Just one of several amazing early engineering feats accomplished to enable the railway to run here.

View across the Clydach Gorge
The newly developed National Cycleway route follows the former rail line which runs across the far slope. An extraordinarily interesting area where man and nature, beauty and despoliation lie cheek by jowl.
