    Great gravel track with stunning views of the reservoirs. It's busiest closest to the visitor centre as expected!

    A superb gravel ride. We did it on a mixed weather day as part of a larger 3 day tour and it was stunning in both directions. Well worth the hill climb to get to it if you start in Elan village. A great 2 day shorter trip could be from the reservoir (where there's parking), to the nearby bothy (around 9 miles along), then back the next day.
