A cracking descent which runs right into the village of Llangynog. It's a good track, with plenty of switchbacks, eventually passing through a beech wood and into the village.

It's a tough ride up to the top and there's one section of about 250m where it's muddy with marsh grass (this was in summer so will be a lot worse in winter) but the downhill into Llangynog is epic. VERY steep - your brakes will be hot by the time you reach the bottom. Look out for the deep mine on trail right as you go down. I'd guess this was a lead mine back in the day.
