    Tips

    July 17, 2018

    In Aberllefenni, a small road starts that will keep you busy for the next hour. It leads you leisurely, later quite steeply up and up and offers you typical breathtaking Wales views at the top.

    By the way, there is a little piece of cultural history to look at: watch out for what the fences are made of.

    Instead of wooden piles, stones are used here and these indicate that there were once large slate quarries here. They've been closed since 2002, but you'll pass one of the slag heaps, you can't miss them!

    The route is a traffic-free cycle path.

      It's a long slog of a climb from the south - but don't despair the scenery is amazing, and well worthy of every pedal stroke.

        April 22, 2024

        Heading south, this is a great, usually traffic-free descent. Heading north it's a hard climb with some 15%+ ramps especially towards the top.
