Geograph - photograph every grid square

The moss and grass have almost completely reclaimed the tarmac. Only a well travelled strip and the occasional manhole cover make this feel like part of a road at all. The map shows that this is now part of Cycle Route 8 and the Taff Trail.
By consulting older maps, contributor Colin Bell confirms it was the original path of the 470 (now renumbered A4054) which runs around the hill in a slightly wider and lower arc out of shot to the right. The new A470 is the dual carriageway, yet another road running parallel.
