A circular walk right on Cardiff’s Western Fringe. From Ely’s Grand Avenue terminus to the site of the Culver House, a detour through retail heaven to view the well-hidden ventilation shaft for the now abandoned Wenvoe rail tunnel, a hike through the western city’s post second World War housing estate of Caerau, a unexpected climb through woodland to reach the ramparts of an iron age fort and the ruined remains of St Mary’s Church. Finally a traverse of Western Cemetery and the Commonwealth War Graves to meet Grand Avenue once more in all its dual carriage grass islanded splendour.

CALCULATE CALORIES

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
