A council is asking for people’s views on the latest and final phase of a new active tavel route along a former railway line.

Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) Council has launched a consultation into phase five of the Rhondda Fach Active Travel Route which will be a new walking and cycling route between Maerdy and Stanleytown in the Rhondda Fach Valley.

The route will follow the alignment of the former railway line along the valley floor and will include links to local communities, shops, schools and leisure facilities.

The route has been split into five phases. Phase one was completed in January, 2024 and phase two was completed in July 2024.
