There-and-back walks
No two stations share a walkable stretch of the Taff Trail, so these walks head out along the path and come back to the same station. The distance is the longest the path allows, up to 20 miles; turn round sooner for a shorter walk.

| Llanbradach | 2.7 mi and back | 10.5 to 11.5 mi | about 3.5 to 4 hours |
