This is a steep and very rocky hill climb which cannot be ridden on any type of bike.

the entrance or exit to the roman road that runs the length of wales, this makes a fantastic end to a trail or an exciting beginning.

Riding the Sarn Helen from the start at Ynysygerwn is a technical climb. I would say probably not ride-able on an analogue bike but completely possible by EMTB.
