This is currently closed to vehicles (hence all the Road Closed signs!) but is passable and fun by bike. You’ll almost certainly need to hike-a-bike the part with significant flood damage in the middle but it’s some of the finest wilderness in Wales!

Cycling

The eastern and upper sections of this pass are mostly ridable in either direction on a gravel bike (fair play if you can scale the climb heading east to west!) but caution is advised if descending the western side, even on a mountain bike.

The washout has only gotten worse since this highlight was created. It is now like a ravine – easily six feet deep or more in places. It's quite entertaining to push alongside, but I would strongly advise even confident cyclists to push as a fall would have serious consequences.
