This serene lane offers a fantastic, tarmac-surfaced ride through Happy Valley alongside Afon Dyffryn-gwyn. This entire segment is a climb but it’s fairly steady and gentle, with stunning views of the hills and mountains on either side. A mixture of woodlands, farmland and open hillsides make for rather bucolic landscapes.

While not traffic-free, there’s very little traffic on this road as it mainly serves farms with a more major road running parallel to the south.
