Goreuon Sir Drefaldwyn

This is the viewpoint up the hill to the east of Dylife. the best view is north down the Afon Twymyn valley.

This is the B4391 that travels over the Berwyns, from Bala in the north to Llangynog in the south. The northern half of the route is also the border of Snowdonia national Park.
High point of 486m so great views.

Llyn Clywedog is a man made reservoir built between 1965 and 1967 to help regulate the flow of water in the Severn. It's also used to reduce the risk of flooding up and downstream.
Amusing comparison but the lake holds the equivalent of 264 billion glasses of water or 550 million baths.
The area around the lake is a well kept habitat for many birds and animals including recent visits from ospreys. The lake is well stocked with trout and a popular fishing destination.

Slightly more forgiving as compared to the other side of Aberangell.

Very steep with many signs warning you of that, especially the last challenging climb to the summit where you can appreciate great views.

There is more climbing on this side of the Hirnant climb starting from Lake Vyrnwy. The 4km climb can be divided into four sections - the first 1km steeply beyond the trees (logs) before the second km offers some pause in comparison. Kilometer 3 is difficult again through the forest, before kilometer 4 is a little easier to summit and cross back to Snowdonia National Park.

It may be the easiest climb to the summit of Bwlch y Groes - the highest gap in North Wales - but there is plenty of challenge. There is a steep section when the river Eunant is on your left, then over the cattle grid and you are surrounded by a barren landscape before joining the beast from Llanymawddwy and the final 17% climb to the summit.

Quiet backroad climb over Bwlch Glanmynydd near Llanbrynmair, great valley views.

Llyn Efyrnwy or Lake Vyrnwy is a reservoir built in the 1880s to supply water to Liverpool.
The lake and nature reserve around it is jointly managed by the RSPB and is an important site for birds. It's a national nature reserve and SSSI.

Beautiful road through Hafren Forest, part gravel and part surfaced. Great views, especially of the Severn.

"Alpine" style climb with great views on the way up and at the top.

Nice gradual climb on a good tarmacked surface!

Great views back down the valley to the west with Mynydd y Bryn at 334m to the southwest and the Cynllaith valley to the west. Once you climb a bit further to the high point at 318m you can see east towards Oswestry.

Lovely smooth road looping around Lake Vyrnwy. A stunning reservoir on the edge of Snowdonia. Roads were beautifully quiet on a summers morning spin. Amazing dam stretching across the water.
