    This pass is an exceptional ride, particularly when the skies are clear. This gravel trail curves around the western extreme of Cadair Idris, bringing you high above the coast to provide amazing views of Barmouth and its bay.

    The gravel here can be loose in places but is suitable for touring, hybrid, gravel and mountain bikes. The trail is isolated, far away from roads making it blissful in good weather. It’s exposed, so take care to bring appropriate clothing should the weather close in.

      Amazing gravel pass with views over Barmouth, amazing at sunset! Gets a bit loose on the descent but easily done on a cross/gravel bike.

        A superb gravel ride! Surface was quite loose at the north end, which was challenging on a loaded bike. The views across the estuary to Barmouth are simply breath-taking. And to top it all there's an epic descent towards Tywyn at the south end - be wary of the cattle grids!!
