Embark on a difficult touring bicycle adventure around the Llyn Clywedog loop from Llanidloes, covering 18.7 miles (30.1 km) with a substantial 2172 feet (662 metres) of elevation gain. This challenging route, typically completed in about 2 hours and 13 minutes, takes you through varied terrain, including paved roads, single-track, and short unpaved sections. You will experience a long, gentle climb out of Llanidloes, followed by undulating sections and two steep ascents near the reservoir, all while enjoying expansive views of the Welsh countryside.
Planning your ride requires good to very good fitness levels, as the sustained ascents make this loop less suitable for beginners. The route starts and finishes in the scenic town of Llanidloes, offering a convenient base for your journey. Be ready for the demanding climbs, especially one away from the lake that rewards you with spectacular vistas extending towards the English border.
Along the way, you will encounter several notable features that enrich the experience. Marvel at the impressive Llyn Clywedog Reservoir and its 72-meter high dam, a central landmark of the loop. Cycle through the beautiful Hafren Forest, known for its natural beauty, and pass the historic abandoned Bryntail Mine Buildings, offering a glimpse into the region's industrial past. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including ospreys, red kites, buzzards, and ravens, particularly within the forest.
