Whichever way you approach Pont Scethin, you'll have just ridden a cracking descent, and you're now faced with the climb back out again.

Although it's unlikely to be festooned with walkers, there can be a few precarious corners, so check your speed.

Quite a remote place if you want some solitude.

Pont Scethin is a stone single arch bridge in a superbly wild and lonely setting in the Rhinog foothills. The bridge used to be on the old London to Harlech packhorse and drover route, and is probably 18th century.
