An incredible location with a touch of a wilderness feel to it. One of the best double track trails in Wales for MTB and mostly good quality tracks that can be ridden by gravel riders. Enjoy the fantastic scenery as you ride through the valley alongside Nant Y Moch reservoir on a traffic free road.

One of the best double track trails in Wales for MTB or gravel riders. Ride through the valley alongside Nant Y Moch reservoir on the traffic free road, a good challenge on a gravel bike but not unrideable. It does get pretty wet here and you'll even find big puddles in summer so go easy. Enjoy this remote area of West Wales that I like to call 'Little Scotland'.

An amazingly wild location - a good gravel track that can be easily ridden on a gravel bike.
