Before this point, it\u2019s always apparent you are still somewhat enveloped in the concrete grip of the city, as houses and industrial buildings peak over behind the trees surrounding the barren grassland on either side of the trail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39743\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39743\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39743\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/3-Picture-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39743\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/3-Picture-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript> Power lines and buildings overlooking the trees on the trail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As the noise of traffic in the distance stops,\u00a0you\u2019re left alone with the sound of the birds and your own thoughts. I found myself significantly slowing my pace once I reached this part of the trail as the need to reach my destination was no longer pressuring me. I felt I could move at my own pace and was free to side track as much as I wanted to enjoy the wildlife. \u201cI have spotted Herons, Horses, Cows, kingfishers, and cormorants,\u201d said Alan. \u00a0So, if wildlife is what you\u2019re after there&#8217;s no better place to find it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39745\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39745\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39745\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/4-Picture--625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39745\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39745\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/4-Picture--625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript> Squirrel stopping to eat in a tree.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although the trail\u00a0provided me with some much-needed time alone\u00a0and gave me the chance to alleviate much of the stress weighing down on me,\u00a0one of the minor issues I\u00a0will warn you of is that\u00a0you are unable\u00a0to alleviate yourself at any point along the trail. For such a long walk which requires an obscene amount of fluids to keep yourself hydrated, you\u2019d expect at least a single bathroom along the route. Even when I reached Castell Coch, I was denied entry to their bathroom unless I paid the fee to enter the Castle, which I did not. This was, however, a minor issue for what turned out to be a very beneficial experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39747\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39747\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39747\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/5-Picture-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39747\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/5-Picture-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript> Graffiti under a bridge at the end of the trail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Without the pressures of city life buzzing around you reminding you of your responsibilities and the stress you\u2019re constantly under, whether it be from work or relationships, you can think clearly. The maladaptive thinking that takes hold when you\u2019re constantly surrounded with the stress of life and the feeling that you can\u2019t cope quickly fades away in the peaceful sound of the water running past you and the birds singing above. I found my head far clearer and my resolve far stronger to try and take action in the difficult situation I find myself in. \u201cThe benefits are great&#8230; I can ponder my work life, any issues on my mind, plan holidays, listen to cricket, get the heart pumping all beneficial.

Unfortunately, not. This may be the most disheartening part of the walk. Once you reach the entrance to Castell Coch you realise the castle lies on top of a very steep hill. Once I realised this, after three hours of walking, I wanted to lay face down on the pavement and let the elements wash me away. But I\u2019d come so far, I crawled to the top of the hill and looked at the stunning castle. Maybe this is what the trail is all about. Despite my burning desire to fall at the bottom of the hill and remain there until the end of my days, I persevered and reached the castle. Perhaps this is the lesson the trail is trying to teach, or maybe this is just the lesson that I took away from the experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39783\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39783\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39783\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/7-Picture-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39783\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39783\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/7-Picture-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><\/noscript> Castell Coch sign signalling you&#8217;ve reached the end of your trail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As a student struggling with the stress of a master&#8217;s degree along with many other problems, I would very much encourage students and anyone dealing with anxiety and stress to consider setting some time aside to walk the Taff trail to Castell Coch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39789\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39789\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39789\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/8-Picture-Probably-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39789\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39789\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/8-Picture-Probably-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript> Park along the Taff trail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What benefits are there to spending some time solo walking in the countryside along the Taff trail to Castell Coch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":384,"featured_media":40097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[564],"coauthors":[616],"class_list":["post-39677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport-health","tag-wildlife"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
