National Cycle Route 88
8.7 miles (14 km)
As of time of writing this signed Sustrans route is currently open in sections in south Wales.
This section of the route takes you from Barry Island to Ewenny, just outside Bridgend. The trail runs for just under 9 miles along pleasant country lanes. On the way you will pass Porthkerry Country Park, Cardiff Airport, Rhoose, Llantwit Major and Wick. The country park near the start is well worth exploring with wildflower meadows, streams, nature trails and views of the Porthkerry viaduct.
For another route along the trail see the Newport To Caerleon Cycle Route which takes you along the River Usk between the two settlements.
