This project grew from our two books of local walk routes. These are now out of print, but the route
descriptions are available on this site.
"Capital Walks" was the name of the first book of walks produced by
Cardiff Ramblers - following our members' favourite routes.
This led to a second book, "More Capital Walks", this time with a
planned approach, having a number of walks around the periphery
of Cardiff, and linking together into a 38 mile Capital Walk
route around the city. See also our links for other local walk routes and
the local trails page for information about longer trails in the area.
