    The Horseshoe Pass is a mountain pass in Denbighshire, north-east Wales. It separates Llantysilio Mountain to the west from the 565 metre mountain and Marilyn Cyrn-y-Brain to the east. The A542 road from Llandegla to Llangollen runs through the pass, reaching a maximum height of 417 metres.

    Cycling

    You are not far now from one of the most iconic ride locations in Wales. The Horseshoe Pass on the A542 is famous as a tough but rewarding bike ride. Just as famous is the Ponderosa Cafe nestled within the soft col between Moel y Gamelin 578m and Cyrn y Brain 565m. The pass itself sits at 417m so when you get there you deserve a greasy breakfast bap break at the cafe!
