Celtic Trail near Blackmill
Cycle path in the Ogmore Valley. The path for cyclists and walkers which runs the length of the Ogmore Valley is seen here heading southwards from Ogmore Vale. This path either makes up or is a major part of the Ogmore Valley Community Route and Ogmore Valley Trail whereas the stretch of it between Nant-y-moel and Blackmill, on which the photograph was taken, comprises Route 883 of the National Cycle Network. The bollards seen help prevent motor vehicles from using the path and are found at other spots on the path where roads are met.
