The start of trip after leaving Nanty's Glo does take a few moments to leave the town itself, however the bike path soon follows a small river to the coal tailings.

One of a few trails where you can see the workings of a past working coal mine. Here they have done their best to incorporate these workings into a feature of the bike ride.
