| Location Description | The NCN4 cyclepath from Machen to Caerphilly is strewn with broken glass for much of the route, notably from Machen to Tirethomas area, then adjacent the industrial estate and then again in Caerphilly town centre east of the castle. I cycled westwards today at 5.30 and the sinking sun showed up the huge quantity of glass. Besides cyclists, there were people walking dogs, and small children. |
