Taith 55 milltir / 88 km wedi ei marcio ar gyfer cerddwyr
a beicwyr, o dref marchnad Aberhonddu i Gaerdydd,
Prifddinas Cymru yw Taith Taf.
Mae Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog yn rhoi
dechrau (neu ddiwedd) da i’ch siwrnai, gan ddechrau’n
hamddenol wrth ochr y gamlas, ymlaen i lonydd gwledig
ac yna ar reilffordd segur Merthyr, gan ddringo’n raddol i
fwlch Torpantau. Mae gan dref farchnad Aberhonddu nifer o
atyniadau sy’n cynnwys eglwys gadeiriol, amgueddfa, basn
camlas a theatr.
Fel un o’r trefi sy’n llunio Blaenau’r Cymoedd, mae Merthyr
Tudful yn gyfoethog o ran diwylliant a thirwedd. Ar un adeg
Merthyr oedd prif dref haearn y byd, a daw hanes y dref yn
fyw yn Amgueddfa ac Oriel Gelf Castell Cyfarthfa, Bwthyn
Joseph Parry a Rheilffordd Fynyddig Aberhonddu.
Mae’r daith yn Rhondda Cynon Taf yn dilyn hen linellau
rheilffordd gyda graddiannau graddol drwy gefn gwlad
godidog. Mae Pontypridd yn ganolbwynt i lwybrau beicio
eraill, yn cynnwys y Lôn Geltaidd. Beth am ymweld â’r
amgueddfa a’r hen bont nodedig, Parc Coffa Ynysangharad,
neu beth am ddargyfeirio ychydig i ymweld â Pharc
Treftadaeth y Rhondda?
Yng Nghaerdydd mae coridor Taf yn ymestyn am 8 milltir,
o Dongwynlais, drwy barciau a gofodau gwyrdd, drwy
ganol y ddinas i Fae Caerdydd. Mae llawer o brif atyniadau
Caerdydd, yn cynnwys Castell Caerdydd, Castell Coch,
Techniquest, Stadiwm y Mileniwm a Chanolfan Mileniwm
Cymru wedi eu lleoli ar goridor Taf.
Mae Taith Taf yn brosiect partneriaeth rhwng Awdurdod Parc
Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog, Cyngor Sir Caerdydd, Cyngor
Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful, Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Rhondda
Cynon Taf, Cyngor Sir Powys, Sustrans, a Groundwork Merthyr a
Rhondda Cynon Taf.
The Taff Trail is a partnership project between The Brecon Beacons
National Park Authority, Cardiff County Council, Merthyr Tydfil County
Borough Council, Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, Powys
County Council, Sustrans, and Groundwork Merthyr & Rhondda Cynon

The Brecon Beacons National Park provides a fine start (or
finish) to your journey, starting gently alongside the canal,
followed by country lanes and onto the disused Merthyr
Railway, climbing steadily up to Torpantau pass. The market
town of Brecon offers many attractions including a cathedral,
museums, canal basin, and a theatre.
As one of the towns forming the Heads of the Valleys,
Merthyr Tydfil is rich in culture and landscape. Once the
iron capital of the world, life is breathed into Merthyr Tydfil’s
history at Cyfarthfa Castle Museum & Art gallery, Joseph
Parry’s Cottage & the Brecon Mountain Railway.
