    Tips

    Amazing road climb, highest road pass in Wales so cracking views on a clear day!

      June 26, 2019

      Climbing from Hay-on-Wye this is an ascent to be savoured. The panoramic views from the top are worth the effort. It's steep in places on the first half of the climb but the top half levels out with occasional ramps. There are plenty of places to stop and enjoy the view and take a few photos. Just make sure that you watch out for the sheep on the descent!
