    Climbing the Bwlch Mountain southwards from Treorchy (A4061) is a classic South Wales Valleys experience, offering a long, steady ascent. The road winds up from the Rhondda valley onto open moorland where the main challenge often becomes the significant exposure to wind. Enjoy the sweeping panoramic views from the top of this popular and rewarding climb.

    One of my favourite, there are 3 climbs to get here and the views are stunning.
    Just be careful when descent as sheep might be on the road or crossing and you don’t want to crash

    Brilliant climb, from any of the three sides. Stunning views. Usually an ice cream van at the top. Good road surface.
