This is a particularly scenic section of the Ystrad Trail and Route 82 from Aberystwyth. A mixture of gravel and earth, this rather overgrown part of the disused railway passes the village of Ystrad Meurig.

It travels under pretty bridges and makes a change from the wider trails and lanes that make up much of this route.
